Is AI becoming a threat for junior lawyers?
By MYBRANDBOOK
The jobs of junior lawyers are on threat, as an Australian legal technology company, Smarter Drafter has used Amazon’s Alexa to build a prototype virtual lawyer. It can create legal documents instantly like a real human.
Smarter Drafter’s Alexa Skill – driven by the company’s Real Human Reasoning AI engine – asks questions a lawyer would and then drafts a legal document that considers the context, facts, jurisdiction and best practice. It takes a few minutes for the interview to take place and the legal document to appear by email.
Smarter Drafter is already in use in more than 150 law firms across Australia but is currently only accessible to lawyers. No date has been set for the first working Alexa integration but Adam Long, CEO of Smarter Drafter says that the company is only months away from releasing a voice assistant for businesses and homes that will create any legal document that is needed.
Long comments that while the tool has not yet passed the Turing Test, he can see a near future where lawyers are working with AI staff members. These virtual staff will support the lawyer, work closely with them and even make calls for the lawyer. The client might not know whether they are talking to a computer or a human.
For junior lawyers, this technology is a real threat, whereas it’s an opportunity and threat for senior lawyers too.
