Is AI the new 'Snake Oil'? -

At Legalweek New York 2019, every vendor seemed to tout their product's artificial intelligence (AI). AI, sometimes called machine intelligence, is the intelligence demonstrated by computers in contrast to natural human intelligence. We have all experienced AI in modern life: Netflix recommendations, Amazon's and Spotify's suggestions, and LinkedIn's and Facebook's prods. Who hasn't heard an IBM Watson ad? These may be recent, but AI has been around the legal world for a long while, in both legal research and electronic discovery.
