The Honorable Justice Allsop on AI in the Legal System

The Honorable Justice Allsop on why the judicial system needs to take action on behalf of the collective to ensure that the legal system remains intact during this age of technological advancement. Law firms and lawyers are heavily regulated as custodians of commercial privacy and assets. If non legal entities like tech companies replace the current legal ecosystem - does this advance access to justice - or introduce new unimagined vectors of risk? If AI systems and specialist legal deployments of AI systems in practical terms provide legal services - should they also be regulated like law firms and lawyers?
