Artificial Intelligence Might Make Us Rethink Contract Law

I've never been one for hyperbolic talk about artificial intelligence. While I do think it presents an existential threat to some lawyer jobs -- specifically those doing low-skill tasks as part of Biglaw behemoths -- when a company told me several years ago that they would license AI based off the brains of famous attorneys within the decade I went right ahead and laughed. The point is, AI is a tool, and a very powerful one, that you're using all the time without even thinking about it. It's why midway through this article, Google is likely showing you an ad for the thing you researched buying last night. So it surprised me the other day when I found myself musing that AI is driving us to the point where long accepted tenets of law might need rethinking.
