Once this tech gets good, and everyone has access to a high-powered legal team for pennies, I am a little concerned that anyone will be able to DDoS the legal system.
It's already possible for giant corporations to bury smaller actors in paperwork. They can and do crush people with this.
What happens when everyone has this ability?
- mdorazio 4y agoWe revisit the legal system itself and hopefully replace it with something better?
- gamegoblin 4y agoI'm not sure if we (at least, in the US) have the institutional capacity to do so. The legal system is interesting because it operates within its own framework. Industries can be disrupted from the outside. People switch when the next best thing comes along: horses to cars, gas to electric, wired to wireless. The legal system can only be (legally) disrupted from the inside, from within itself. If AI tech gums up the legal system itself, how will we use the legal system to fix the legal system? Regime change / revolution is probably not ideal.
