The verdict is in: AI outperforms human lawyers in reviewing legal documents

It's hard to ignore the ways artificial intelligence (AI) has already bested humans, from making incredibly convincing internet videos to beating humanity's best Go players. AI is expected to outpace humans in a number of occupations; some of which might be a little unexpected. A new study released this week from LawGeex, a leading AI contract review platform, has revealed a new area in which AI outperforms us: Law. For the study, 20 human attorneys were pitted against LawGeex's AI in reviewing 5 NDAs. The controlled conditions of the study were designed to resemble how lawyers would typically review and approve everyday contracts.
