Would you trust a robot lawyer?

A new survey for Robin AI reveals that while nearly one in three people would be open to letting a robot lawyer represent them in court, the vast majority would only do so if a human lawyer was overseeing the process. When asked who they trust most for legal advice, just four percent say they would trust AI on its own. The vast majority would prefer either a traditional lawyer (69 percent) or a lawyer using AI as a support tool (27 percent). However, support drops sharply for more emotionally or legally complex matters, only 17 percent would trust AI with a divorce, 17 percent with a redundancy dispute and 11 percent with a criminal defense. Legal AI should make life easier for lawyers and cheaper for clients.
