"Susskind criticised law schools for ‘churning out 20th-century lawyers’ and said he had failed to convince a single one to adapt its teaching to consider artificial intelligence"

Could it be *shock horror* that he could be utterly wrong?!?!?!

Defendant PI firms have utilised software for years to assist with quantum assessment (Collossus et al). This causes more problems than it solves as there is no flexibility in its' method - "the computer says your case is worth X so that's what I will offer and no more", which often leads to cases becoming litigated rather than reasonably compromised

No software or program can take into account the "human" element of interpretation and application of court guidelines, case law, facts, evidence and the actions of other humans in the process. Humans can see the subtle nuances in evidence and assess the risks when it comes to merits and negotiation.

If and when technology does advance to such a stage when artificial intelligence can undertake such a massive and complex task consistently and without fault, then maybe the entire legal industry can fear the rise of the machines. But by that stage I'd be more worried that the machines may send LJ Jackson back in time to change the future with fixed costs matrixes...
