His opinion of most AI focussed legal tech was that it was a threat not to lawyers but to existing legal publishing companies. His solemn conclusion was that companies such as Thompson Reuters, West Law and Lexis Nexis Butterworth would be best positioned to acquire legal tech startups. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, in David\u2019s presentation of IBM Watson, he stressed in his remarks on helping lawyers research information the vital need for lawyers to train Watson to understand subjective information. The major emphasis for IBM Watson was to recognise a system that was probabilistic rather than deterministic, thus requiring the role of lawyers to be central if the technology was ever going to scale. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some interesting stories followed by Tony Williams, including accusations made against him by unnamed stakeholders in the 1990\u2019s of wanting to cannibalise the legal business after making a proposal to introduce new client focused software on a subscription.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presentations were followed by a showcase of London LawTech Startups at a variety of stages including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalgeek.co\/speakers\/tim-parker-claws\/\">Timothy Parker<\/a> from CLAWS (Case Law Search), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalgeek.co\/speakers\/julia-salasky-crowd-justice\/\">Julia Salasky<\/a> from Crowd Justice and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalgeek.co\/speakers\/evgeny-likhoded-clause-match\/\">Evgeny Likhoded<\/a> from Clausematch.
