BakerHostetler Hires Artificial Intelligent Attorney 'Ross' (fortune.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Futurism reports, Ross, the first artificially intelligent attorney, was just hired by the global law firm Baker and Hostetler. The firm announced they hired a robot lawyer created by ROSS Intelligence. Ross was built on IBM's Watson and is fully capable of understanding your questions, responding with a hypothesis backed by references and citations. It provides you with the most relevant information you are looking for rather than thousands of results you'd need to sift though. In addition, it can notify you about recent court decisions that may or may not affect your case, and it will continue to learn based off each experience it encounters. ROSS Intelligence co-founder and CEO says other law firms have also signed licenses with Ross.

Pair this with an autonomous car and you can have a robot who chases ambulances.

not really a lawyer, sounds more like a love child of google and lexus nexus
and we know lawyers aren't born of a loving relationship.

  And sometimes Ross loses it totally and repeats "We were on a break!"
