The Tek Smylee series on LinkedIn is ASK ABS&P’s thought-leadership series that examines the potential future of the legal profession in an age of advanced artificial intelligence.

Drawing inspiration from the cautionary and thought-provoking style of Black Mirror, the series presents fictional yet plausible scenarios that explore how AI, automation, digital identity, algorithmic decision-making, and emerging technologies could reshape legal practice, dispute resolution, regulation, access to justice, and the rule of law.

Through a combination of storytelling, legal analysis, and technological foresight, The Tek Smylee series invites lawyers, judges, policymakers, technologists, and innovators to consider not only what AI can do, but what it should do.

The scenarios featured in the series are intentionally provocative. They are designed to stimulate discussion about the opportunities, risks, ethical dilemmas, and unintended consequences that may arise as intelligent systems become increasingly embedded within legal institutions and society.
