Is artificial intelligence the key to unlocking innovation in your law firm?

The recent media frenzy about artificial intelligence (AI) has been unavoidable. This vision has perhaps come a step closer with the arrival of IBM Watson and Richard Susskind’s latest book, The Future of the Professions, which predicts an internet society with greater virtual interaction with professional services such as doctors, teachers, accountants, architects and lawyers.

In reality, is AI many years away from making any real impact in the legal sector? And should law firms see this technical advancement as an opportunity or threat?

Broadly speaking, AI is the theory and development of computer systems which will perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. This is often now referred to as cognitive computing. Much of the BBC and Channel 4 AI series has revolved around this type of robotics, an exciting field, but not relevant to law.
