Prediction vs. Human Judgment
预测 vs. 人类判断
As machine intelligence rapidly improves, the value of human predictions without AI enhancement will likely decrease. However, this does not spell doom for lawyers. AI will change the way we make decisions, employing machine derived predictions as a complement to human judgment. The value of human judgment that is enhanced by machine analysis and predictions will increase.
随着机器智能迅速发展，在没有人工智能提升的情况下，人类预测的价值可能会下降。然而，这并不意味着律师们就没有了出路。在人工智能的影响下，我们改变了决策方式，开始使用机器预测结果来辅助人类判断。人类判断经机器分析和预测得以增强，其价值也将提升。
Traditional law firms and in-house legal departments who adopt AI and appropriate advanced legal technology will be well positioned to deliver real-time insights, enhanced decision-making, and improved efficiency. In these legal organizations, lawyers will be able to do what they are trained for, and that technology cannot replicate. They will exercise their independent professional judgment, a higher-order cognitive skill involving critical thinking and creativity, but they will do the work quicker, smarter and more accurately using AI and cognitive computing technology.
有些传统律师事务所和企业法务部使用了人工智能与合适的先进法律技术，由此得以输出实时见解、改善决策并且提升效率。在这些法律组织中，律师能够做那些专业且无法被机器替代的工作。他们将作出独立的专业判断，这是一种需要批判性思维和创造力的高阶认知技能。不过，通过使用人工智能和认知计算技术，他们能够更快速、更灵活而且更精准地完成工作。
Technology is transforming the legal profession, but it will not make the professional judgment and expertise of lawyers obsolete. It will enable those who adopt, employ, and leverage it to provide better and more cost-effective legal services and representation for their clients. Legal organizations and lawyers who embrace AI legal technology today will reap those benefits—and have a competitive advantage over those who do not.
技术的确正在改变法律行业，但律师的专业判断和专业知识并不会因此而变得无用。相反，使用技术的律师能够为客户提供更优质的、性价比更高的法律服务和代理服务。今天，欣然接受法律领域人工智能技术的法律组织和律师将获益匪浅，也比持相反态度的同行具有更大的竞争优势。

结语
虽然人工智能和法律技术将改变法律行业的许多方面，但律师的专业判断和专业知识仍然至关重要。采用人工智能和先进的法律技术的传统律师事务所和法律部门将能够提供更好、更具成本效益的法律服务。那些积极拥抱人工智能法律技术的法律组织和律师将从中获益，并在竞争中占据优势，为客户提供更优质、更具成本效益的法律服务。人工智能于律师而言，机遇大于挑战。
