From AlphaGo to AlphaLaw?

Last week, we witnessed DeepMind AlphaGo's stunning victories over Go legend and world champion Lee Se-dol. This landmark event has stoked excitement over AI's potential in every aspect of life more than any other in recent memory. DeepMind (an AI system of neural networks) was acquired by Google in 2014 and uses games as a testing ground for AI algorithms that could have real-world applications. 'I think what we've done with AlphaGo is to introduce with the neural networks this aspect of intuition, if you want to call it that, and that's really the thing that separates out top Go players: their intuition.' The same could be said about top lawyers, lawyering and legal service provision.
