This AI defeated the top 20 US lawyers in the field they were best at

The top US lawyers recently participated in a battle with artificial intelligence in dealing with economic contract related cases and had to receive shameful failures.

A study conducted by the legal AI platform LawGeex, with advice from law professors from Stanford University, Duke and the University of Southern California, brought 20 seasoned lawyers to a fight with a AI is specially trained to evaluate legal contracts.

The players have 4 hours to evaluate 5 non-disclosure agreements (NDA) and identify 30 legal issues, including arbitration, partnership security and compensation. Scores are calculated based on the accuracy of each person in determining each problem.

Unfortunately for us, human lawyers have failed miserably before the powerful AI.

Human lawyers were defeated in a shameful manner.

Accordingly, human lawyers have achieved an average of 85% accuracy rate, while AI reaches 95%. The AI ​​also finishes the job in 26 minutes, while humans lose an average of 92 minutes, which is 4 times longer! In addition, AI also achieved 100% absolute accuracy for a contract, but also that contract, the highest-scoring human lawyer only achieved 97% accuracy.

In short, human lawyers were blamedly defeated.

Intellectual property attorney Grant Gulovsen - one of the attorneys involved in the fight - said the job was very similar to what many lawyers do every day.

So is this the end of humanity? Don't talk too much. In contrast, the use of AI may help lawyers in speeding up their work, helping them focus more on the work that requires the human mind.

"There is an AI that helps an initial assessment of an NDA just as there is an assistant attorney for incident tracking, which will help free up valuable time for lawyers to focus on legal advice for customers and jobs are more valuable, "said Erika Buell, clinical professor at Duke University Law School, one of LawGeex's advisers.

This technology will never completely replace human lawyers, but it will certainly help speed up their work by pointing out the most important parts of a case.

"I believe law students and young lawyers need to understand the other technologies and technologies, because they will help them become better lawyers and shape future legal work" - Buell said - "I expect that the public - once really want their lawyers to work more effectively when solving their problems - will be very interested in this new tool."
