Of course the legal news varies, but it would be great to hear what really piques your interest each week and what you would like to read more about! We aim to write up the news that we think would be of interest to you all and so to hear exactly what that might be would be exceptionally useful to us!I hope you guys enjoy reading the article summary below and wishing you all a lovely weekend!Legal Week: ‘I Am The Law: Can AI Replace Judges?’ (Posted 7th June 2019)SummaryEstonia plans to use AI to make court decisions in small claims disputes which will possibly see the replacement of judges in such matters, should this prove effective. ArticleThe Ministry of Justice in Estonia is set to demonstrate its trust in artificial intelligence by trialing technology’s capacity to make court judgments in small money claims.The MoJ deputy secretary general, Viljar Peep, has stated that Estonia will initially use machine learning technology for claims of up to a maximum of €7,000, with the view to use the AI in more sophisticated claims in the future. This might see the replacement of human judges in such matters. Other AI systems currently in use, such as Kira and Lex Machina, assist lawyers by analysing documents and providing a likelihood of a judgement. These current systems assist the legal process without being determiners of a court decision. Although the news of Estonia’s ambitions has garnered interest, there are still reservations about using AI as a determiner of a court decision. The prominent Herbert Smith Freehills dispute resolution partner Damien Byrne Hill shared his skepticism by saying that he believes AI would struggle to do a primary job of a human judge, which is to assess the accuracy of witness statements. Others have also expressed doubt that human judges could be replaced in higher value claims and disputes.Although Estonia is proposing to advance AI in a way that has not been done before in the legal process, time will only tell how effective this will prove to be. Should it do so, it may well set the tone for technology in the legal sector for years to come. </blockquote>
