Bar associations have set themselves up to fail. Enroll the AI in law school, let it get a degree, and sit for the bar exam in every state. Problem solved. And then the bar associations can suck it.


Enroll the AI at law school and let it get a degree? Reminds me of a whimsical shower thought I had once.... Create a business that owns itself, and write an AI to run it. Owns its own bank accounts and everything. Maybe the business is just selling stickers online or something equally lightweight, but give it all the legal status of company. But a company with zero human owners or any human employees. Make it a rebuke of the "corporations are people" idea. Just a zombie out there selling products/services, and making money that no human can ever touch again....

If it sounds crazy/stupid, remember - I did say "whimsical shower thought" ;)


And when the AI starts fabricating fictitious citations for cases, disbar it, and ban it and its developers from practicing law?
