Robo McBeal: AI comes to the law firm

Artificial Intelligent (AI) platforms are about to shake up the legal fraternity.

29 May 2018

Do you remember the TV series Boston Legal, LA Law and Ally McBeal? They were great legal shows full of quirky characters, but none of these shows had any robots in them. There was a good reason for that. Unless there were compelling story arcs about robots, they would have been seen as frivolous plot devices.

Nowadays, however, TV producers should not be so quick to reject the idea of robots appearing in their law shows, as artificial intelligent (AI) platforms – which use algorithmic ‘bots’ – are increasingly becoming a part of how real-world law firms operate.
