Description
The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better The current state of law is incomplete, inaccessible, and often perplexing to those it affects. Abdi Aidid and Benjamin Alarie argue that the proliferation of artificial intelligence-enabled technology, particularly legal prediction, is on the verge of radically reconfiguring the law and our institutions for the better. The authors reveal how our legal institutions underperform and are expensive to administer, highlighting the negative social consequences associated with the current state of the law. However, they also identify ample room for improvement, suggesting that technology can help ameliorate the problems of the law and improve our legal institutions. The Legal Singularity presents a future state in which technology facilitates the functional "completeness" of law, making it more complex in its specification yet more knowable, fairer, and clearer for its subjects.
