The video discusses the lack of technological innovation in the field of law, which is primarily the same as it was 100 years ago. It further asserts that because of this, a majority of civil problems encountered by low-income Americans often receive inadequate or no legal aid.
Robert Mahari’s group at MIT has been developing technology to improve the efficiency of law. Their initiatives include using AI to prepare for litigation, forecasting legal risk, and surfacing biases in legal systems. Despite the potential of AI in law, the speaker also acknowledges risks such as, bias, lack of explainability, capture by big players, legal ossification, and undermining trust. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to establish ‘computational justice’ ensuring access to justice for everyone. Robert Mahari ends by encouraging support in responsibly deploying legal AI.
