Lawyers and our legal system have become a social net-negative. The profession, by design, seeks to constrain activity for the benefit (hindsight protection) of a few. The truth is that many 'landmark' cases are completely manufactured and bench hunted. AI judgments will likely be no different. The most important AI for our future is going to be the legal AI that allows people free defense from corporate bullies and trolls. Unfortunately, this kind of tech will likely be bought by Westlaw or LexisNexis and simply used to supplement current practice instead of revolutionize representation.
