- This affects so much more than just employment law. There is a steady increase of AI-assisted complaints to UK regulators.by sscaryterry
- It seems to be an assumption at this point that the massive increase is of frivolous suits/applications.
Perhaps it's more a democratisation? Maybe, there were many worthy tribunals before but the prospective claimants weren't able to access legal support?
I'd guess it's a bit of both.
by pbhjpbhj - Even the “pre-case” legal stuff is out of control. In my Australian organisation we’ve noticed a deluge of what I can only call “privacy demands” that talk the talk… but have the jurisdiction or subject legislation wrong.
But AI told them they could demand these things (even if it would be illegal for us to comply! Think KYC stuff.) and they don’t have the skill to criticise the AI or know when to stop.

- Maybe we need a better-scaling legal system that does not take years to resolve simple disputes. I am not convinced AI can replace lawyers, but more people having access to the law without extremely costly fees does sound good to me.by dozerly
