What will Happen When Artificial Intelligence and the Internet Meet Professions?

Two futures are outlined for the professions. Both rest on technology. One is reassuringly familiar. It is a more efficient version of what we have today. The second is transformational - a gradual replacement of professionals by increasingly capable systems. In the long run, in an Internet society, it is claimed, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century.

Richard Susskind has specialised in the impact of information technology on the law for 25 years. He is an independent adviser to major professional firms and to national governments. (from gresham.ac.uk)
