Machine-learning algorithm beats 20 lawyers in NDA legal analysis

Most of the jobs that get displaced by computers or robots are menial labor that requires little or no education. However, now that machine learning algorithms are becoming more sophisticated, even highly educated positions could be replaced by automation. A recent study by LawGeex pitted its machine-learning AI against 20 human lawyers to see how it would fair going over contract law. Each lawyer and the LawGeex AI were given five nondisclosure agreements to review for risks. The humans were given four hours to study the contracts.
