Monitoring AI and hyper-automation
As if the
world wasn’t anxious enough about automation and artificial
intelligence fleecing jobs from the working class, now even lawyers
might feel a little nervous. Last week, the law firm Baker &
Hostetler announced the hiring of IBM’s proprietary artificial
intelligence product, Ross. Built by IBM’s own groundbreaking
computing system, Watson, Ross is the world’s “first artificially
intelligent attorney.”
Designed as
a self-learning algorithmic tool, Ross is capable of most basic
cognitive skills and possesses fine-tuned research abilities. This
includes providing citations. Ross will join Baker & Hostetler’s
team of 50 lawyers specializing in bankruptcy cases.
“You
ask your questions in plain English, as you would a colleague, and
ROSS then reads through the entire body of law and returns a cited
answer and topical readings from legislation, case law and secondary
sources to get you up-to-speed quickly,” the website says. “In
addition, ROSS monitors the law around the clock to notify you of new
court decisions that can affect your case.”
