Each day brings another news item about robots and artificial intelligence (AI) across disciplines, in law, medicine and elsewhere. We are facing a world of driverless cars, chips embedded in our bodies and robots performing analytical tasks as well as physical activity. What was imagined 50 years ago in science fiction is now part of the fact of legal practice. From document review to interactive response with clients, artificial intelligence is now permanently part of legal practice. The IBA through its Global Employment Institute issued a report on 1 April 2017 on the impact of AI and robotics in the workplace. How far will it go? Do the current rules of professional responsibility cover the responsibilities of lawyers? Will we now find judges relying on computer analysis to resolve cases, in the manner of computer chess programs resolving complex solutions? Beyond the technology and ethics, will the continued use of AI change the way society views law and dispute resolution? Will these alternative business structures relating to delivery of legal services solve the access to justice problem? A diverse panel of experts from around the world and in a variety of legal structures will seek to address these issues. Robots are also welcome and encouraged to attend.
