Abstract

Many advocates are urging that our existing laws are overly complex and need to be simplified. Interestingly, the advent of AI in the law can readily enter into this same discourse. It might be easier to intertwine AI and the law if the law was simplified, and/or the act of intertwining AI with the law could spur the simplification of the law. Tradeoffs though must be considered.
