Is the tradition-focused legal industry really ready to embrace the latest tech innovation?

An artificial intelligence system has correctly predicted the outcomes of hundreds of
cases heard at the European Court of Human Rights, researchers have claimed.

The AI predicted the verdicts to an accuracy of 79%, according to the scientists involved.

AI is increasingly being used in fields such as journalism, law and accountancy.

But critics said no AI would be able to understand the nuances of a legal case.

the universities of Sheffield and Pennsylvania, does not spell an end to lawyers, the
researchers said.

understanding of the world around them.

Increasingly it is being used as a tool by journalists, teachers,
healthcare workers and retailers.The BBC took a look at a few
of the more unexpected uses of the technology.

Expert says we are moving towards 'computing at the speed of thought'
The first computers cost millions of dollars and were locked inside rooms
equipped with special electrical circuits and air conditioning.

The only people who could use them had been trained to write programs

Will artificial intelligence mean the rich get even richer? Superwealthy are
ALREADY using robo advisors to manage their stocks. Would you trust your
finances in the hands of a robo-advisor?

Wealthy investors have been flocking to automated services in recent years,
and even some major lenders are planning to integrate this technology.
Robo-advisors come at a much cheaper rate, often charging half of what a
traditional broker would, and could be managing as much as $2.2 trillion in four years.
