ROSS - World's First AI Attorney?

Meet ROSS, 'the world's first artificially intelligent attorney'. Duplicating the success of Watson, an IBM cognitive computing experiment, a startup is attempting to create an AI Attorney that can learn, research, understand questions and get smarter as it is used. I still don't think I am wrong in believing that lawyering will always require more than rote knowledge and analysis. Give me a "genuinely human" intelligent attorney any day. Of course, an AI legal assistant would be nice.

I do suspect a very good portion of legal work will eventually be done by AI. Too many lawyers are simple too slow to adopt new technologies. As a result, their work is too inefficient and expensive. The legal industry is ripe for disruption and many collective heads will be left spinning as they've failed to recognize their own failings.

But I think you already generally agree with me there. I agree with you that humans will never be completely removed from the system.
