全球首位人工智能律師Ross最近得到了一份工作。

據(jù)科技新聞網(wǎng)站Futurism.com報道，美國最大的全球律師事務所之一Baker & Hostetler最近宣布，他們聘請了一名由ROSS Intelligence開發(fā)的機器人律師。Ross將會進入這家公司的破產(chǎn)業(yè)務部門工作，該部門目前已有近50位律師。

Ross采用了IBM的Watson系統(tǒng)。它能理解你的問題，根據(jù)參考文獻和例證推測結(jié)論。它不會列出數(shù)千條結(jié)果讓你篩選，而是提供相關程度最高的結(jié)果，從而提高法律研究的效率。此外，它會不斷關注現(xiàn)有的訴訟，通知你法院近期可能與案件相關的判決結(jié)果。它還能從過往經(jīng)歷中學習，你與它互動越頻繁，它就越能積累信息，運行速度也會更快。

Baker & Hostetler是第一家宣布聘用人工智能律師的公司。ROSS Intelligence的共同創(chuàng)始人和首席執(zhí)行官安德魯?阿魯達表示，還有其他法律公司與Ross簽署了使用許可，該公司很快會宣布更多簽約消息。

對于需求優(yōu)秀律師的人來說，這是個好消息，但它也加深了自動化技術取代人類員工的擔憂。有些人認為這不是問題，因為從歷史上看，隨著科技的進步，工作崗位也會增加。但是人工智能是一個全新的領域，許多人擔心今后的工作崗位并不會隨著技術進步而增加。

Ross, the first artificially intelligent attorney, just got a job.

Global law firm Baker & Hostetler, one of the nation’s largest, recently announced that it has hired a robot lawyer created by ROSS Intelligence,Futurism reports. Ross will be employed in the law firm’s bankruptcy practice which currently employs close to 50 lawyers.

Ross was built on IBM’s IBM -0.07% Watson. It can understand your questions, and respond with a hypothesis backed by references and citations. It improves on legal research by providing you with only the most highly relevant answers rather than thousands of results you would need to sift through. Additionally, it is constantly monitoring current litigation so that it can notify you about recent court decisions that may affect your case, and it will continue to learn from experience, gaining more knowledge and operating more quickly, the more you interact with it.

Baker & Hostetler is just the first to make this announcement. According to Andrew Arruda, ROSS Intelligence co-founder and CEO, other law firms have signed licenses with Ross, and we can expect more announcements soon.

Though this could be welcome news for someone who needs a good lawyer, it may also fuel concerns that automation is replacing human employees.Some argue that this isn’t an issue because job availability has historically increased as technology advances, but artificial intelligence is a fairly new territory that many worry can put an end to that trend.
