Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Legal - Why the Hype? - Prism Legal

I've been thinking lately about why there is so much hype recently among lawyers and legal market commentators about artificial intelligence (AI). I was not ready to put hands to keyboard for a full explanation, so on Sunday I recorded a short video on Twitter stating my preliminary views. It's always hard to predict reactions to a single Tweet. This video generated a lot of discussion on Twitter and at least one direct reply blog post. I capture here some of that that commentary. By the way, I don't rehearse my videos and I don't have notes when I record them.
