Zone1 Would you support lawyers and judges replaced by AI driven computers?

[MarathonMike]

I have heard that AI is already replacing humans in both blue collar and white collar fields. I have heard little about AI replacing lawyers and judges which would seem the most logical application of AI algorithms. No human can match a Server driven by a sophisticated AI program geared to analyzing legal cases. No human could process hundreds or thousands or millions of similar cases to determine precedent, for example. IMO AI lawyers and judges should be rolled out in small test areas in the lower courts just as AI is replacing lower level positions in other fields.

And on a personal note, I would be MUCH more comfortable being tried by a secure AI computer than a "Jury of my peers" any day of the week. What say you? And to all my favorite trolls remember this is the CLEAN DEBATE ZONE.

Someone would invent and insist upon black female AI judges.

AI scares me bald headed.

AI is already affecting lawyers, especially newly-graduated ones, as AI takes over the grunt work, leaving the lawyer to proof its work.

I don't think the AI we have is ready to act as a judge, at least not today. If there was an open training set dataset and public control over governing rules, then, yes if they can be secured.

I can see the usefulness of having AI that is deeply trained in the law review cases and then makes recommendations to a human judge. That would have two paths I think. If the Judge says this looks right, then the judgment can be rendered.

However, if the judge thinks something is missing, he holds it over for trial.

I see a lot of lawyers pushing back on this. After all, they cannot maintain the scummy attitude unless they can get inside a courtroom.

The same for diagnosis for medicine.

However, the final say has to be by a human, in my opinion.

It would be particularly useful regarding immigration and illegals. An AI agent could go through the millions of cases and find a verdict to recommend to an immigration judge.

That would significantly reduce the case load.

Watch the movie "mercy" with chris pratt. It is about this very thing. A very good movie.

AI will not replace lawyers. It will augment them and be a force multiplier. Imagine having the perfect assistant who can research cases and write briefs at the speed of light.

10 years ago I had a lawyer set up a family trust, wills, POAs, everything. That's something that AI could do for like $50.

But if you've got a difficult probate case, you're still going to need an actual lawyer for a long time to come.

I was a crane operator in a steel mill for a few decades, and AI could never replace a job like that. I enjoyed telling people that I had dozens of men and women working under me.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Absolutely not

 

[Care4all]

No

Not today, but in the future it probably will.

Not today, but in the future it probably will.

On an assembly line where people are making widgets of some kind it will happen. But for safety purposes in heavy industry, where the crane operator needs to see the entire floor, not in our lifetimes.
