Survey: Law Firms Undertaking Major IT Projects for Efficiency
December 12, 2015
Taken from PwC’s 2015 annual UK Law Firms 95 percent of firms across the pond are currently investing in major IT projects help their constituents work better. Those findings are consistent with trends in the United States, where ALM’s 2015 “Am Law-LTN Tech Survey” found that 97 percent of law firms reported a higher IT operating budget than that of the previous year. This high number is partially the result of a growing awareness that IT is critical to law firms, as 80 percent of survey...

How IBM’s Watson Went From ‘Jeopardy’ Champ to Business A.I. Tool
December 12, 2015
If Watson — the supercomputer first introduced via "Jeopardy" four years ago that's become a key part of IBM's business friendly story — was capable of all the great things IBM (NYSE: IBM) said it could do, then Hussey knew that data he had would find a good home. The trick would be to figure out which of Watson’s 30 cognitive APIs, each of which are trained to perform a different skill set and can learn to improve their performance, would best suit his company StatSocial's needs. So Hussey...

IBM Watson Takes The Stand
December 6, 2015
Cognitive computing is already helping doctors, scientists, economists and investors—and now it’s going to law school. We live in a world increasingly run by algorithms. They drive the lion’s share of all equity trades and automate complex hedges and derivatives. They make love matches, set retail prices, sequence traffic lights and air traffic, predict ticket sales by "reading" scripts, diagnose diseases, prescribe drug protocols and identify suspected terrorists for no-fly lists. At Google,...

Two More States Adopt Duty of Technology Competence
December 6, 2015
In my continuing effort to tally the states that have adopted the duty of technology competence, I have two more to add: New Hampshire and New York. They bring the total to 17. Yesterday, the Supreme Court of New Hampshire entered an order adopting various amendments to court rules. In that order, it adopted a modified and less-stringent version of Comment 8 than that adopted by the ABA in Model Rule 1.1. In place of the ABA version, the N.H. Supreme Court adopted a New Hampshire Bar Association...

BOE: Robots Could Steal 80 Million US Jobs
December 5, 2015
One central bank has some frightening predictions when it comes to job stability in the future. 80 million jobs in the United States are at risk of being taken over by robots in the next few decades, a Bank of England (BoE) official warned on Thursday. With U.S. data showing that total nonfarm employment hit 142.6 million in October, that's roughly over half of the total jobs at risk. And the U.S. isn't the only one who'd be at the mercy of the mechanical hands. In a speech at the Trades...
