This A.I. Litigation Database, designed and developed by students and faculty of George Washington University Law, brings together ongoing and ongoing and completed litigation involving artificial intelligence, including machine learning, from the initial complaint to the final verdict.
"AI is a sub-field of computer science. It can be broadly characterized as intelligence by machines and software. Intelligence refers to many types of abilities, yet is often constrained to the definition of human intelligence. It involves mechanisms, some that are fully discovered and understood by science and engineers; and some that are not."
- Daniel Ben-Art, 2017
Artificial Intelligence and Legal Analytics by
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) and the law is on the cusp of a revolution that began with text analytic programs like IBM's Watson and Debater and the open-source information management architectures on which they are based. Today, new legal applications are beginning to appear and this book - designed to explain computational processes to non-programmers - describes how they will change the practice of law, specifically by connecting computational models of legal reasoning directly with legal text, generating arguments for and against particular outcomes, predicting outcomes and explaining these predictions with reasons that legal professionals will be able to evaluate for themselves. These legal applications will support conceptual legal information retrieval and allow cognitive computing, enabling a collaboration between humans and computers in which each does what it can do best.

The third part focuses on the prospects for aspiring lawyers, predicting what new jobs and new employers there will be, and equipping prospective lawyers with penetrating questions to put to their current and future employers.This is the essential introduction to the future of law for those who want to succeed in the rapidly changing legal landscape.
