The Legal System Response to Technology Advancement
Technology is amazing, our view of society has changed and continues to develop. AI has been here for a while and has evolved over the years. There was a time that computers were the only AI machines available. Now in the present, we have new technology and more ways for users to get information. It’s great that we are developing and expanding technology, however, our legal system is falling behind. Even though we are behind it doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to close the gap in-between. These are a few actions our legal system can do to catch up with these advancements. First, I believe it is important for a lawyer or vendor to get used to using technology they are not familiar with. There are ways to learn about new technology, you can attend conferences, join an online group, or you can reach out to vendors. Second, I believe it’s important to expand our knowledge of technology. There are multiple ways vendors can get more information by simply doing research. Blogs, articles, the internet, and conferences are examples of where a vendor can go to get educated about new or old technology. Finally, A lawyer should be honest about what they know and what they don’t know. Technology is changing at a fast rate and just by breaking down what you know from what you don’t know can help furth expand the knowledge you need to know. There are certain techniques I would develop to close the gap between our legal system and technology. I would first break down my knowledge of what I know and what I don’t know. I would then research more on the technology I wasn’t familiar with. After researching and getting myself, all caught up to date, I would find groups of people online who would communicate to me about anything new that was developing. Another procedure I would do is find a group of people who are in the same position as me. I am a strong believer in group work, we all can put our knowledge and findings together to help each other learn about new AI systems.
