Legal Professionals: IBM’s Watson is coming for your job. Are you ready?

4:00 – 6:00 pm
Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
1201 Third Avenue, Suite 2200
Seattle, Washington 98101
Registration: http://bit.ly/1rSqsuq
Wine, beer and appetizers will be served.
The cost to attend is $20 per person and pre-registration is required.
About the presentation:
In 2011 IBM’s Watson soundly defeated two very successful former champions of the quiz-show Jeopardy! It was a benchmark if not for the artificial intelligence itself then certainly for AI in the public consciousness. But Watson is not stopping there; in fact, “he’s” just getting started. Among the first industries that Watson is tackling is law, with help from legal technology innovators Dan Katz and Paul Lippe. An engineer from IBM has even built a “personal Watson” for pro se litigation. If IBM can teach Watson to win Jeopardy, you can bet they can teach it file briefs, organize and review contracts, and perform routine, and maybe even more complex, legal tasks. And IBM is not the only one working on these problems. Hundreds of legal technology startups and millions of venture capital dollars are bringing an lodging an innovative market-disrupting assault on the monolith that has been the legal industry (including challenging regulation of lawyers).

Comments Off on KCBA Seminar: The Cybersleuth’s Guide to the Internet! By, Anna Endter
I wanted to call your attention to an upcoming King County Bar Association CLE: The Cybersleuth’s Guide to the Internet. It will be held on November 14th, 2014 at the Convention Center downtown and is approved for CLE credit, as well. Attendees also get a free copy of the newest edition of The Cybersleuth’s Guide.
I’ve written about how helpful I think the Cybersleuth’s Guide is and I’m excited to attend the seminar and learn more tips and tricks. I’d love to see some other LLOPSters there! You might also want to let your attorneys know about it. Registration is online via the KCBA. I hear that previous programs have sold out so don’t delay!
