You want SkyNet? Cause that is how you get SkyNet,
Sounds like a great idea!
Pfft - Dr Theopolis did it for Buck Rogers first… and lost!
Send them to Congress!!!!
I like the part about a program that chats with customer service when you want to cancel a subscription. I also like the idea of developing a chatbot that will “talk” to scammers who send you a bill for $486.39 for GeekSquad. I could go for that.
But it would not be intelligence. It would be a simulation of intelligence.
I thought lawyers were already artificially intelligent.
I’m certainly no computer expert, but isn’t AI only as good as the info programmed into it? Bias can be programmed in, couldn’t it?
I’d rather see AI doctors.
Is the Unfrozen Caveman lawyer still in business?
“Instead of addressing the court, the program, which will run on a smartphone, will supply appropriate responses through an earpiece to the defendant, who can then use them in the courtroom.”
If a defense lawyer is not allowed to coach his client while on the stand, then why are we allowing an AI to do just that?
If a defense computer works then it should be able to argue against a prosecutor computer, and the two decide the human’s fate.
Computers could also use their vast knowledge and records to decide which nations should be at war with each other, how the war would proceed, and what the result would be, then they could just zap the appropriate percentage of humans in those populations and appropriate infrastructure, and the war would be done without us ever having to leave our living rooms.
If it charges for legal advice, and is not a human lawyer who has passed the bar exam in the state where it is practicing, I can see issues.
As in charges for practicing law without a license.
so the Caveman Lawyer is off the case?
There was a science fiction novel from back in the 70’s by Lloyd Biggle Jr. where trial lawyers loaded legal references into a judicial computer and out popped the verdict. Monument, I think it was called. Good book IIRC - peaceful natives trying to protect their planet from exploitation, guided by a plan left by a crashed human space traveler. The legal stuff was crucial to the plot.
