Thank you very much. I'm sure the Counsel General is aware of a recent competition that took place in the US between so-called 'lawbots' and law professors in a lawyering competition. Both the humans and the artificial intelligence were given four hours to read a contract and identify 30 legal terms and issues, including arbitration and confidentiality agreements. What was most impressive was that the professors scored 85 per cent, but the artificial intelligence scored 95 per cent. The professors took 92 minutes to achieve their score, and the lawbots took 26 seconds.

Some countries are ahead of the game in exploring how this innovation can be applied. New Zealand is exploring how new legislation can be written in both text and in code simultaneously to allow these bots in the future to digest and analyse law to be able to give tailored advice instantaneously to people. Has the Counsel General considered how this could be introduced in Wales?
