In series 1 we highlighted the involvement of Artificial Intelligence in three different lifestyle sectors: 1. music composition, 2. game playing and developing, and 3. writing books. Series 2 will highlight additions sectors where AI is introduced and destined to lead our future, portraying a more critical, life changing role for AI. Axiom, the legal services innovator, announced the launch of AxiomAI, a program aiming to leverage AI to improve the efficiency and quality of Axiom's contract work. Would AxiomAI lead by having a trained, informed Robot Lawyer accusing or defending Humans in court? Currently a lawyer chatbot gives free legal counsel in 50 US states and UK.

While it's unlikely that we'll ever live to see a doomsday scenario like with Skynet in Terminator or Deus Ex Machina from Matrix, the fact is that AI is going to change our everyday lives--and very fast. Some predictions say that 30% of jobs that exist today won't be requiring human help by 2030, while others say that there will be other jobs for humans to perform. Most administrative jobs simply won't require human interference, as computers can do a better and a faster job at a cheaper price. In this article, we'll cover some predictions that lawyers will be completely replaced by AI--and why we think that they won't. There's no denying that some elements of lawyering are going to be heavily affected by the development of AI.

Artificial intelligence is now carving it's way firmly into the future of document management. Far beyond realms of printing and photocopying, agreements once only brought to life by human intervention are now taking on their own life form. AI tools now create the ability for analysis of contracts and other agreements. The once intense and often expensive legal construction and amendments are now being overtaken by machine. Simple changes or vsfaried can be identified and acted upon quickly.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to learn a particular skill, you had to ask another person to teach you, or you had to teach yourself. This might have involved going to a library, or signing up for an apprenticeship. We do still learn in these traditional ways, but in the digital age, access to information has become instant. People are more knowledgeable about more things than ever before. But, as argued by Tom Nichols in his book, 'The Death of Expertise', this has reduced the need for people to actually learn.

Artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotics are all powerful new technologies that are not only making changes in agriculture, but are also plowing up new legal issues for attorneys, state governments and producers, presenters said during a national ag tech and law conference. The first-of-its-kind conference, Ag Technology and the Law: Advancing American Agriculture, was held this week at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock. The conference, which drew representatives from 35 states, was sponsored by Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, the National Agricultural Law Center and the National Association of Attorneys General. Rutledge welcomed participants on Wednesday by reinforcing the importance of agriculture. "Meeting with Arkansans face-to-face each year, including more than 400 farmers, I have heard first-hand about issues with feral hogs, dicamba drift, black-headed buzzards, Waters of the U.S. and many other issues," said Rutledge.

So many businesses and governments are scurrying to get into the artificial intelligence race that many appear to be losing sight of some important things that should matter along the way – such as legality, good governance, and ethics. In the AI arena the stakes are extremely high and it is quickly becoming a free-for-all from data acquisition to the stealing of corporate and state secrets. The "rules of the road" are either being addressed along the way or not at all, since the legal regime governing who can do what to whom, and how, is either wholly inadequate or simply does not exist. As is the case in the cyber world, the law is well behind the curve. Ethical questions abound with AI systems, raising questions about how machines recognize and process values and ethical paradigms.

The most feared online entities in the present day are trolls. Trolls, a fearsome bunch of fake or pseudo online profiles, tend to attack online users, mostly celebrities, sports person or political profiles using a wide range of methods. One of these methods is to post obscene or NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content on your profile or website where User Generated Content (USG) is allowed. This can create unnecessary attention and cause legal troubles for you too. The traditional way out is to get a moderator (or a team of them).

As government regulation for commercial drone usage seems to be trending in a very positive direction for the companies involved, there is an ever-growing opportunity for drone startups to utilize artificial intelligence to deliver insights without requiring much human effort. Sterblue, a French drone software startup that is launching out of Y Combinator's latest class of companies, is aiming to get off-the-shelf drones inspecting large outdoor structures up close with automated insights that identify anomalies that need a second look. The startup's software is specifically focused on enabling drones to easily inspect large power lines or wind turbines with simple automated trajectories that can get a job done much quicker and with less room for human error. The software also allows the drones to get much closer to the large structures they are scanning so the scanned images are as high-quality as possible. Compared to navigating a tight urban environment, Sterblue has the benefit of there being very few airborne anomalies around these structures, so autonomously flying along certain flight paths is as easy as having a CAD structure available and enough wiggle room to correct for things like wind condition.

In our prior The World's Most Disruptive Technology (That No One Is Talking About) post we portrayed the promise and peril of a potent new gene-altering technology. Since our CRISPR post, we've been tracking another technology development equally deserving of legal scrutiny, due to it's potential to "change everything" according to one prominent thinker who knows a thing about disruptive technology. However, unlike CRISPR's promise to fundamentally alter the basic structures of human life (i.e. Deep dive with me, if you dare, into the subzero world of quantum computers. How Cold Is Quantum Computing? Imagine a computer so powerful it could instantly crack any level of data encryption.
