It is no longer news that artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed across the board in the legal industry, although the extent of AI use varies by jurisdiction.This incidence of robot lawyers, 3 robot judges, 4 robot administrators and predictive legal tools powered by AI perhaps reflects a grim future for legal professionals, 5 or will at the very least, radically change certain aspects of legal practice that legal practitioners must brace for.The story goes like this -'the legal profession's digital-era journey is accelerating', 6 and the introduction of AI into everyday life is reshaping extant legal assumptions and creating complex litigation frontiers.In any case, the legal industry is undergoing a paradigm shift that requires new questions and answers.The very sophisticated character of AI tools with disruptive capacities requires a rethink of orthodox praxis, norms, jurisprudence, and assumptions.This is precisely what the book Litigating Artificial Intelligence has demonstrated quite well.The book provides a very nuanced compilation of timely discourse on AI in the legal industry, contextually elucidating emerging issues and contestations that legal professionals will grapple with now and going forward.
