20 Top Lawyers Were Beaten By Legal AI (hackernoon.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report:In a landmark study, 20 top US corporate lawyers with decades of experience in corporate law and contract review were pitted against an AI. Their task was to spot issues in five Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), which are a contractual basis for most business deals. The study, carried out with leading legal academics and experts, saw the LawGeex AI achieve an average 94% accuracy rate, higher than the lawyers who achieved an average rate of 85%. It took the lawyers an average of 92 minutes to complete the NDA issue spotting, compared to 26 seconds for the LawGeex AI. The longest time taken by a lawyer to complete the test was 156 minutes, and the shortest time was 51 minutes.

What the article isnt saying is that these lawyers were pitted against a combat AI in a parking lot in the back of a derelict convenience store in the dark hours of the morning. The AI successfully dismembered virtually all of them, despite their decades of experience in corporate law.

First they came for the lawyers, but I did nothing, for I am not a lawyer ...

• Then they came for lobbyists, but I did nothing, for I am not a lobbyist.
• Then they came for advertisers, but I did nothing, for I am not an advertiser
• Then they came for real people, and we said "stop there".

And (A)I can't wait!

I imagine sexbots will achieve similar results.
