The Legal Services Board (LSB) has launched a report on the regulation of legal technology, ‘Striking the balance: how legal services regulation can foster responsible technological innovation’.
It outlines the evidence and learning gathered from the first phase of a project that the LSB started in 2019. It concludes that technology and innovation can widen access to legal services, but the associated risks need to be managed.
LSB chair Dr Helen Phillips writes in the foreword, ‘Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Automated Decision Making all pose real, or perceived, regulatory, ethical and practical risks.’
