The Cambridge Handbook Of Artificial Intelligence: Global Perspectives On Law And Ethics (Cambridge Law Handbooks)

Digitalisation and the development of automated systems, as well as the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), have radically changed the legal landscape, and will continue to impact law at an accelerated pace. These developments have led to the creation of a new industry, Legal Tech (LT), which aims at creating technological applications specifically tailored for law and the legal market. LT includes a broad range of applications: some of the most prominent and recurrent examples include automation in the drafting of contracts, mining" case-law, or the creation of smart dispute resolution systems not requiring human intervention. As a result, operations that were previously unthinkable, or that would demand an enormous amount of human resources, can now be readily done through numerous legal services available to lawyers, other professionals, and consumers. The rise of LT has brought about various responses, from those who advocate the innovating potential of LT to legal traditionalists that consider the replacement of human resources by technology to be highly disruptive. In addition, there are those who advocate for a level-headed distinction between "hype" and reality. Nonetheless, it would be short sighted not to see that the advancement of LT is going to have a profound impact on the legal sector, similar in degree as industrialisation had on manufacturing"--
