The Robot Lawyers Aren't Coming - But, Watch Out For The Robot Dogs.

The Robots Aren't Coming To Practice Law. Nikki Black posts about this great article by Ken Crutchfield, and the fact that Robot Lawyers aren't in our future. He highlights all the ways that AI will be helping lawyers do their thing, from legal research to data analytics, and posits that a Robot won't be delivering a closing argument anytime soon. I have expressed this view before, and it gains more credence every day. The Robots we need to fear are the metal monsters that are, and will be, hired to perform security tasks, drive our cars, clean our houses and offices, and defuse enemy bombs. The recent reporting of automated cars going off the road and killing somebody highlight the risks of placing tech into the hands of a robot. If you see a robotic dog coming towards  you, run. Human flesh isn't compatible with metal parts. I, Robot, is science fiction. Robot dog is patrolling the neighborhood.
