Lawyers Replaced By AI's - Polidicks

What's a set of lawyers chained to the ocean floor? A good start. [QUOTE] NY Times - advances in artificial intelligence, “e-discovery” software can analyze documents in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost. In January, for example, Blackstone Discovery of Palo Alto, Calif., helped analyze 1.5 million documents for less than $100,000. In 1978, hundreds of paralegals and lawyers six million documents at a cost of more than $2.2 million in an antitrust lawsuit. Automation of higher-level jobs is accelerating because of progress in computer science and linguistics. Some Companies that offer e-discovery Blackstone Discovery Cataphora Clearwell Systems [QUOTE]Tom Mitchell, chairman of the machine learning department at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “We’re at the beginning of a 10-year period where we’re going to transition from computers that can’t understand language to a point where computers can understand quite a bit about language.” The US government is using more advanced versions and more hardware of the same capabilities to analyze large volumes of documents for counter terrorism and other purposes.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Engineers and linguists at Cataphora, an information-sifting company based in Silicon Valley, have their software mine documents for the activities and interactions of people — who did what when, and who talks to whom. The software seeks to visualize chains of events. It identifies discussions that might have taken place across e-mail, instant messages and telephone calls. Then the computer pounces, so to speak, capturing “digital anomalies” that white-collar criminals often create in trying to hide their activities. The shift from manual document discovery to e-discovery would lead to a manpower reduction in which one lawyer would suffice for work that once required 500 and that the newest generation of software, which can detect duplicates and find clusters of important documents on a particular topic, could cut the head count by another 50 percent.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/lawyers-replaced-by-artificial.html[/url]

what are their specs

Well, at least they'll have a heart.

Some artificially intelligent justice system in the works huh? Well that would cut down the unnecessary bureaucratic bullshit I suppose.

I'm sure I can make a Phoenix Wright reference here but I can't think of one.

"AI's" Artificial intelligences.

they have to look like the thinker imo

[QUOTE=GrabbinPills;28809554]what are their specs[/QUOTE] AI isn't hardware. :raise:

[QUOTE=Shadaez;28809712]"AI's" Artificial intelligences.[/QUOTE] I don't get it. Is it because of the trailing 's?

"Prosecutor, where did you say your client was? At the scene of the crime, or at home?" "Yes"

"Defendant, did your client murder the victim in question?" AI "Yes" "No further questions, your honor"

[QUOTE=BlkDucky;28809820]AI isn't hardware. :raise:[/QUOTE] He's talking about the hardware the AI is being run on, obviously.

no it was a joke they don't even have specs okay

But can they play Crysis

no but they can play the game of sending your ass to jail with seventeen words

I see great potential in this. But then again, I also see a huge chance this'll fuck up badly.

"Defendant, did your client murder the victim in question?" (shamelessly copied from Gekkosan) "We're still building a consensus"

I'd be pissed if my lawyer was off playing Crysis during my trial.

i can see this going terribly wrong and sending people to jail for no reason

Aren't laws founded on morals? Why would we want a machine deciding apon morality when they don't evne know what it is

[QUOTE=Lurklet;28810345]i can see this going terribly wrong and sending people to jail for no reason[/QUOTE] Or on space ships! WE COULD BECOME SPACE GYPSIES!

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;28810366]Aren't laws founded on morals? Why would we want a machine deciding apon morality when they don't evne know what it is[/QUOTE] laws are founded on morals but you can't fight a speeding ticket with "I think it's immoral", following the law is black and white

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;28810366]Aren't laws founded on morals? Why would we want a machine deciding apon morality when they don't evne know what it is[/QUOTE] That's biochauvinism bro. Don't hate on the machines :smith:

God dammit looks like I might have to change majors at this rate.

Now we need to replace our government with artificial intelligence and we're good.

so should I drop those ideas about going to law school then

"Sir, did your client murder miss J. B. Humpinburger?" "Nil"

"Sir, did your client murder the man in question?" "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER."
