Comment on Stanford, USC, Duke study shows AI can read contracts better than lawyers

Comments

TLDR: AI replaces lowest-cost portion of legal practice, AKA "document review."

For those of you familiar with the legal field, document review involves reading and summarizing documents. This task is left to new graduates because they don't have the skills or experience to actually do anything useful.

Looking at LawGeex website, it appears that all the AI does is heuristically match common terms, phrases, and cases to guess what legal issues are raised in the document reviewed. It certainly makes the process of document review more efficient, but it's not revolutionary.
