"Transparency, explainability, and fairness are becoming more than just regulatory buzzwords, as they’re likely to be the standards by which lenders are going to be judged in the years to come."

“...AI is already capable of providing reasonably accurate legal advice. Many of you will have tried some of the dedicated programmes offering advice on employment, property and other issues. They may be scary for lawyers, but they will not actually replace them, in my view at least, since many of the issues that arise concern the explanations that need to accompany legal advice. Persuading people to accept legal advice is a peculiarly human activity.”
