Intelligence of AI While AI is a program and can be altered, it has the potential of being equal to or greater than a human, not only in intelligence, but in "reproduction" rates. There is also no guarantee that their thinking will be human-like or have any kind of moral basis, making them unable to sympathize with events or cases. While their lack of morals and human-like thinking will lead to a lack of bias, it can also lead to other mistakes a human would not normally make, as their thinking is different (Bostrum, 2003). However, currently, a miniscule amount of AI has the ability to think like a human, as most can’t adjust to a situation or event, like that of a human. They do not have an evolutionary thought process that allows them to

If humans are losing jobs to robots, not only in the legal research field, but also in many other fields as robots are created to replace people, these people will not have an income anymore and it could negatively affect their lives. The positive and negative consequences of a situation should be examined and if people are unhappy and poor due to a lack of jobs being lost to AI, the negative consequences may outweigh the benefits of tasks being completed better, faster, and cheaper; however, lawyers and medical professions have an obligation to help people in the best and fastest way possible, so if AI technology will provide the best solution for a client or patient, then that is the way that the field should go (Poole & Mackworth, 2001). Currently, AI technology can only do research, so there is still a need for lawyers, who must debate and defend the cases in court. Cass Sunstein, a legal scholar and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, believes that since AI does not have the ability to think on its own, it becomes merely a research assistant, unable to link and separate court cases. While some believe that AI will have the ability to decide the outcome of court cases, Sunstein argues that AI can find cases and present potential arguments to lawyers from existing
