Transforming Legal Research with Explainable AI: A Look at Lexlegis.AI’s ‘ASK’ Model

The legal sector has always been a complex and daunting field for the common man to navigate. Understanding legal jargon and conducting legal research has often been time-consuming and challenging. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the legal industry is on the brink of a transformation. Specifically, Explainable AI is poised to bridge the gap between legal authorities and the general public, making legal research more accessible and understandable.

Saakar S Yadav, the founder of Lexlegis.AI, a legal technology startup, is at the forefront of this revolution. During the launch of ‘ASK’, Lexlegis.ai’s Explainable AI querying model, Yadav explained how this innovative technology is set to empower legal research through AI.

The ‘ASK’ model is an end-to-end chatbot that provides answers to queries related to direct tax in India. Currently focused on direct tax, the model aims to expand its capabilities to include corporate laws, criminal laws, and more by 2025. Additionally, Lexlegis.ai plans to introduce features for drafting legal documents and interacting with legal authorities and experts online.

What sets ‘ASK’ apart from other chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT is its specialization in legal content. While ChatGPT sources data from various random sources, ‘ASK’ specifically deals with legal information from law firms, government departments, courts, and more. The model’s answers are primarily sourced from documents provided by the Supreme Court, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Explainable AI in the legal sector holds the promise of expediting legal research and decision-making processes. With millions of pending cases in India alone, the need for faster research methods is evident. Explainable AI not only accelerates research but also enhances transparency and fairness in legal decision-making.

Looking ahead, the future of AI in the legal sector appears bright. With the emergence of AI startups focusing on legal technology, such as Lexlegis.ai, the landscape is evolving rapidly. Yadav envisions a future where AI models will streamline legal processes, providing unbiased and transparent judgments in a fraction of the time it traditionally takes.

As AI continues to advance, the legal sector stands to benefit from increased efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. With Explainable AI leading the way, the days of struggling to understand legal complexities may soon be a thing of the past. Stay tuned for more updates on the intersection of AI and the legal industry.
