Multidimensionality of Legal Singularity: Parametric Analysis and the Autonomous Levels of AI Legal Reasoning

Abstract

Legal scholars have in the last several years embarked upon an ongoing discussion and debate over a potential Legal Singularity that might someday occur, involving a variant or law-domain offshoot leveraged from the Artificial Intelligence (AI) realm amid its many decades of deliberations about an overarching and generalized technological singularity (referred to classically as The Singularity). This paper examines the postulated Legal Singularity and proffers that such AI and Law cogitations can be enriched by these three facets addressed herein: (1) dovetail additionally salient considerations of The Singularity into the Legal Singularity, (2) make use of an in-depth and innovative multidimensional parametric analysis of the Legal Singularity as posited in this paper, and (3) align and unify the Legal Singularity with the Levels of Autonomy (LoA) associated with AI Legal Reasoning (AILR) as propounded in this paper.
