As a lawyer I'm extremely skeptical about this contract reading software displacing any lawyers any time soon, like in the next 10 years. This isn't because I question the abilities of the tech (though I do), rather its for the simple reason that I see so much more low hanging fruit for automation that still exists in the industry compared to reading contracts. Also this situation hasn't changed much in my 6+ years so I guess lawyers are able to charge for a certain amount of inefficiency, though I believe there was a huge wave of eDiscovery and subsequent eDiscovery automation layoffs in the 2000s, and the jobs outlook is probably not positive, more like neutral at best.
