Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based Legal Application: The State-of-the-Art and Future Research Trends

The advancement of science and technology has facilitated adaptation of human intelligence into its computerized platform for logical analysis of any event. This porting of human intelligence to machine is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI enhances human life since inception with the help of these intelligent machines, human potentials will be augmented in multiple spheres. An enormous improvement in this area of AI has been noticed in the past two decades that has given rise to expert systems. AI has huge impact on different fields of business, engineering, law, medicine, science, weather forecasting, etc. to enhance the quality and efficiency in our day to day life to solve complex problems. For the past few decades, AI has been playing an emerging role in the legal field and will definitely have an effect on the legal practices over the next few years. AI has the potential to analyses legal information based on semantics and make legal predictions from the legal data set, and hence it helps the judiciary system in automation thereby increasing the efficiency within affordable budget. For better understanding of the concept, in this paper authors have performed relevant survey on this field.
