Season 7, Ep. 1- Revolutionizing Law with AI: Benjamin Alarie and Abdi Aidid Discuss 'The Legal Singularity'

Better Innovation

Join us as we kick off season 7 of Better Innovation and our mini-series on Responsible AI with guests Benjamin Alarie and Abdi Aidid, co-authors of their new book ‘The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better.’ Ben is a professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and is the co-founder and CEO of Blue J. Abdi teaches in the areas of civil procedure, torts, and law & technology, also at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.

Jeff, Abdi and Ben explore the concept of “The Legal Singularity,” a future state where technology facilitates the functional "completeness" of the law. The conversation spans the implications of the law’s textual nature, AI’s impact on the professional responsibilities within the practice of law, and the potential for AI to radically improve our legal processes, institutions, and society.
