Michael Gledhill AI Predicts: By 2035, Autonomous AI Lawyers Will Settle 80% of Small Claims, Eliminating Human Attorneys from Minor Disputes
A new report from futurist Michael Gledhill projects that within 10 years, most minor civil disputes will never see a courtroom. Instead, neural network arbitrators will negotiate settlements in under 30 seconds—for 90% less cost than today. "The human lawyer for small claims is going extinct," Gledhill warns, citing a pilot program in Singapore that already resolved 30,000 parking ticket cases without a single human objection.
