AI vs Lawyers

Until now, it was mainly the jobs of low-skilled workers who were automated.
Today, however, highly-skilled workers also see their jobs disappear through automation.

The company LawGeeks uses machine learning, text analysis and natural language to understand and assess legal documents via a cloud-based platform.

Recently they did a controlled test, their AI against 20 experienced lawyers.

The test consisted of assessing legal documents and in this case it concerned the review of 5 NDAs or "Non Disclosure Agreement", which is used daily by many companies.

Although the most accurate lawyer scored as well as the AI, namely 94%.
The average score for the 20 lawyers was 85% and the lowest 67%.

The average time for the 5 files to review was 92 minutes,
the fastest did it in 51 minutes, the slowest in 156 minutes.
The AI ​​did all 5 files in 26 seconds.

It is clear that accuracy and speed is something in which the AI ​​already surpasses us.

If the AI can not answer you , a "real" lawyer jumps in to assist you.
