Will Lawyers Face Succession from Automation?

When asked about the development of LawGeex’s software, Bechor explained that his company hired lawyers to train the software. In light of the advances of artificial intelligence, Inc questioned whether the aforesaid lawyers contributed to the demise of their own careers. However, Bechor affirms that (for now), attorneys are in the clear:

“We’re not claiming to be more accurate than lawyers all the time and in any type of work. What we are showing is that on the mundane, repetitive, simple stuff, technology can actually do a better job than humans.”

The Rise of Automation

Countless studies and experts have affirmed the speedy advancements of artificial intelligence. Many workers will face succession from automation within the next decade or so. This is likely a contributing factor behind the rise of individuals pursuing careers in freelance work and the gig economy.
