Artificial intelligence is here - and it is set to transform legal practice - InDaily

The artificial intelligence revolution is gathering pace and no part of legal practice will be left untouched, writes legal commentator Morry Bailes. When South Korea's reigning Go master was beaten by artificial intelligence last year I published a column about the future of law. While a computer defeating a gaming champion seemed innocuous enough, the gravity of that event, given the complexity of Go, was significant. It has flow-on effects for all businesses, including law firms. Little over a year later, a Google-powered AI has just defeated China's best Go player, Ke Jie, who is also the world's No.1 player.
