APPLYING COGNITIVE COMPUTING TO LEGAL SERVICES

With the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the growing demand for chatbots that connect to other networks, the popularity of Cognitive Computing (CC) is growing. This paper looks at the development of a cognitive AI chatbot for legal services and explains the requirements and tasks involved in setting up a cognitive AI chatbot. It looks at current legal chatbots and their uses in legal services, considering how cognitive bots can be used to make appointments and handle frequently asked questions. How cognitive bots can be linked to a corpus of information and Application Programming Interfaces is outlined.
