AI is impacting many professions today, with the fastest impact found in areas where vast information needs to be sifted and synthesized, and where there is an importance placed on precision -- as in the practice of law. In this video, attorney, professor, and IBM SkillsBuild advocate April Dawson explains how AI is already being used as a tool for legal work, as well as why a lawyer will always be essential to its proper use.

I tried asking for legal advisement from a LLM the other day. My question was probably too lengthy to have a credible response. The LLM did point me at the laws but was not able to provide any advisement. I aggree with requiring a human to answer the questions asked but who can you truly trust more is the question. The facts are easily skewed in favour of one or the other depending on who has more money. I feel that this is an equitable solution for both parties and bias could be factored and that we could test before going before the courts. A way to be more fair, equitable. Similar on healthcare. Ask how much they spend their year ends and accountability. Can’t wait for the day we all have an ROI. Keep up the great videos.

What AGI truely needs to do restructure our laws so that us basic humans can understand and use them. It might be an unrealistic expectation, but I'd be surprised if their wasn't low hanging fruit to simplfy.

This is great!

Logic, numbers and elementary math in general have never been lawyers' forte. Fortunately AI now comes to rescue.

Is there anything for extremely large amounts of discovery. Over 6 terrabytes

[@aprilmeowmeow]

As someone who gets paid to work with these LLMs, my concern is their accuracy. They FREQUENTLY present incorrect information as truth, even when provided with a short documentation. There has been almost no improvement for the 28 months ive been doing this. The issue is, LLMs do not *know* anything. There is no single fact that they can repeat when asked 10,000 times with 100% accuracy.

All lawyers need to be replaced by computers.

[@dadinggo]

Will never happen, it’s a boys club.

[@JohnDoe-vu5hy]

They along with DRs are done.... how do i know this? even if their job became 10x easier, they're not even considering lowering their prices

[@KiwisDownUnder]

Gibberish. Did you even watch the video?

[@quark7120]

Soooo what are the impacts??

[@KiwisDownUnder]

Having just been an expert witness on a large commercial dispute, an LLM would have been useful to allow the discovery and summarisation process. Would it have replaced my role? no. Could I rely on what it said? No. So the impact .. providing me an initial landscape view of across the case materials which were vast ... documents, contracts, project materials, emails, whatsapp messages, product documentation and more. The reason I didn't get the chance to upload to an LLM? ... confidentiality and parties not willing to let me do so. Still a long way to go.

@@KiwisDownUndergive it 6 month, exponentiation is the word

[@aprilmeowmeow]

​@@fai8t I train LLM and help audit the information that trains them. it will be MUCH longer until they are relevant for these uses. They have basically not progressed at all in the past year.
