Andrew and the Marvellous Analytical Engine
A barrister’s practical guide to artificial intelligence for lawyers and other thoughtful professionals.
Artificial intelligence is already changing legal and professional life. Most people know that. Much fewer understand what the technology actually is, what it is good for, where it goes wrong, and how it should sensibly be used.
This book was written to close that gap.
Written in plain English, it explains what modern artificial intelligence is, how it differs from earlier forms of computing, and why recent developments have proved so disruptive to professional work.
It pays particular attention to lawyers and the legal world. It looks at how AI is already being used, where the real risks lie, and why professional judgment remains central.
