Legal Leaders Increasingly Open to the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Practice
July 25, 2015
Survey sees a considerable drop-off in the number of legal leaders who believe computers could never replace legal professionals. The industries and jobs most frequently associated with automation and artificial intelligence often fall in the skilled labor arenas—fabrication and assembly, for example. But as artificial intelligence grows smarter, jobs that have historically had a closer affiliation with the humanities may also become fodder for software automation, including man in the legal...

Google Reveals Health-Tracking Wristband
July 24, 2015
Google Inc.’s life sciences group has created a health-tracking wristband that could be used in clinical trials and drug tests, giving researchers or physicians minute-by-minute data on how patients are faring. The experimental device, developed within the company’s Google X research division, can measure pulse, heart rhythm and skin temperature, and also environmental information like light exposure and noise levels. It won’t be marketed as a consumer device, said Andy Conrad, head of the life...

IBM Watson for Contract Analytics at Legal OnRamp
July 23, 2015
OnRamp describes itself as offering “hosted software and services to help legal departments deliver results more efficiently with higher quality and lower cost.” I recently spoke with Paul Lippe, CEO (and former GC of Synopsys, an AI software company for computer-aided design), and other management to learn more about their use of IBM Watson. Borrowing from IBM Watson’s notion of “cognitive computing,” Paul calls contracts the “cognitive backbone” of the enterprise. Yet he points...

Labor and Employment Law in a World of Automated Systems
July 20, 2015
We may still be decades away from true artificial intelligence, but intelligent systems and new technologies are adding challenges to the modern workplace. The computing systems and programs currently pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) may still be a long way off from self-awareness (the hallmark of true AI), but they are creating very real challenges for human society. Chief among these are the implications on historic and societal underpinnings of how humans work. Presently,...

Defeating the Robots: How Lawyers Avoid Becoming Obsolete
July 15, 2015
Robots Are Coming Joshua Lenon is the “Attorney-in-Residence” at Clio, one of the leading cloud-based legal practice management platforms. As a practicing attorney, fresh out of law school, Joshua was frustrated by how unprepared he felt for the practice of law. As he described it, everything was four times harder than it needed to be. Joining Clio has given him the opportunity to help address that problem. As the only practicing attorney working for Clio, Joshua is in a unique position...

Insuring Settlement
July 15, 2015
A colleague (Esther Bleuel) recently shared a quote by Benjamin Franklin: “Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail.” Recently, the Los Angeles Daily Journal published an article by Larry Mills entitled, How Counsel can make or break a settlement. (April 3, 2015- page 2 of Verdicts and Settlements). In essence, the article was all about preparation- a subject about which I have blogged numerous times and is near and dear to my heart! ( Using this article as a guide, the following are my own thoughts...
