AI & Law: Overinterpretation By Machine Learning Produces Legal Nonsense

Perhaps you’ve had an occasion to be speaking with someone about a matter of the law and at one point either or both of you exclaimed that the underlying logic makes absolutely no legal sense. We usually expect that any serious legal matter ought to ultimately be rooted in something legally sensible. You might not necessarily agree with the legal underpinnings per se, but at least you tip your hat to the fact that a semblance of legal logic was employed. Not all legal arguments are convincing, though we would hope that a bona fide legal argument is intelligible and argumentatively solidly embodied. I bring up this hallowed point about being legally sensible to highlight a concern that is appearing amid the avid use of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) for crafting AI-based legal reasoning systems. The overarching idea behind the use of ML and DL in the law consists of using… <a href="https://lance-eliot.medium.com/ai-law-overinterpretation-by-machine-learning-produces-legal-nonsense-a0387fabe22b">Read More</a>
