Abstract

This paper examines the oncoming socio-economic impact of the Technological Revolution and the "AI Ecosystem", particularly on the legal community and its processes as a practical example with which both liberal artists and scientists might identify. In particular, the tension between the economic- and socially driven thrust of modern society and traditional human value systems is discussed at some length. It includes the effects on societal values and structures that have resulted and are likely to continue well into the foreseeable future and suggests possible remedies for these problems avoiding the deep jargon of both the law and technology.
