“…However, legal AI bots are not actual specialists, and human lawyers need to observe whenever necessary [4,7]. How to change human thinking and procedures is a significant issue in this area of AI, and it is also a mission that law people need to confront [8,9].…”

This study explores the implementation of legal artificial intelligence (AI) robot issues for sustainable development related to legal advisory institutions. While a legal advisory AI Bot using the unique arithmetic method of AI offers rules of convenient legal definitions, it has not been established whether users are ready to use one at legal advisory institutions. This study applies the MCDM (multicriteria decision-making) model DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory)-based Analytical Network Process (ANP) with a modified VIKOR, to explore user behavior on the implementation of a legal AI bot. We first apply DEMATEL-based ANP, called influence weightings of DANP (DEMATEL-based ANP), to set up the complex adoption strategies via systematics and then to employ an M-VIKOR method to determine how to reduce any performance gaps between the ideal values and the existing situation. Lastly, we conduct an empirical case to show the efficacy and usefulness of this recommended integrated MCDM model. The findings are useful for identifying the priorities to be considered in the implementation of a legal AI bot and the issues related to enhancing its implementation process. Moreover, this research offers an understanding of users’ behaviors and their actual needs regarding a legal AI bot at legal advisory institutions. This research obtains the following results: (1) It effectively assembles a decision network of technical improvements and applications of a legal AI bot at legal advisory institutions and explains the feedbacks and interdependences of aspects/factors in real-life issues. (2) It describes how to vary effective results from the current alternative performances and situations into ideal values in order to fit the existing environments at legal advisory institutions with legal AI bot implementation.

The Provision of Legal Services to Consumers Using LawTech Tools: From “Service” to “Legal Product”

We need legal services, but not always and, in any case, lawyers. There are other companies on the market, real business structures, which represent a highly recommended alternative to traditional law firms. These companies, mostly known by the English term "LegalTech" startups, offer their "products" to the final consumer. In this sense, they are able to facilitate access to, for example, writing of documents, the presentation of claims or the possibility to finding a suitable lawyer for the consumer's case for free or at a very low cost. "LawTech" tools are especially suitable for small claims that, otherwise, and despite the European process established for that purpose, would not be suited. On the other hand, the provision of a "legal product" entails the provision of a "digital service or digital content", so the issue should be linked to the recent and controversial Directive (EU) 2019/770, of Parliament European and of the Council of May 20, 2019 regarding certain aspects of the contracts for the provision of digital content and services. To distinguish between the provision of the legal service and the provision of the digital service or digital content is not always an easy task and, nevertheless, it is meaningful because it will affect the determination of the applicable norms; for example, regarding the lack of conformity or the mistakes or biases of the algorithm. Likewise, the explainability of the algorithm is a first-order issue in consumer's protection, in relation to the pre-contractual information that should be supplied to them.

“…The key assumption behind the Cost Disease thesis is that technological innovation to improve productivity is less likely to happen in the stagnant sectors. With the coming of ICT and AI, there is reason to doubt whether labour intensive services, such as care, education and legal services are inevitably stagnant (Alarie, 2018;Grimmelmann, 2014).…”

It is increasingly a concern that technological innovations may create as many problems as they solve. Together with the articles in this special issue, we outline the challenges and opportunities posed by technological changes to social development and the mechanisms through which technological innovations may deliver or prevent social development. The experience in Asia in this collection shows the attempt to use technological innovations to overcome hurdles for social development in multiple spheres, by the state, the market and the society. Despite of the anticipation for technology innovations to work wonder, the outcomes are far from being certain.
