AI as a Candidate

With AI being all the rage, some legal firms are testing out good AI is at answering legal questions, by giving them fictional legal problems and asking for the solution.

The results were about four out of ten compared with a solicitor of two years qualification.

Not surprising perhaps, but where AI scores is taking a lengthy legal document and summarising it to save time and also as a checklist for legal remedies.

What AI cannot do, so far, is to advise on whether to do something or not, whether to write a letter or not and all the nuances depending on each individual client.

Watch this space for rapid changes.
