Apparently, Etopia News’ reporting that LegalZoom was already “collaborating” with IBM Watson to develop and deliver legal services powered by that cognitive computing engine went a bit beyond the reality.
Johanna
Namir, Director, Public Relations and Social Media at LegalZoom, sent Etopia
News an e-mail at 2:11pm PDT this afternoon, saying:
“I noticed your tweet on our feed today and wanted to
clarify that we are not yet collaborating with IBM but are still exploring
options.”
Let
it be known, then, that LegalZoom, “the
nation's leading provider of personalized, affordable online legal solutions
for families and small businesses,” according to
its website, is not yet collaborating with IBM Watson to develop legal services
based on the powerful question-answering system that won at Jeopardy! and
is now being positioned as the core of an expanding ecosystem of AI
applications, but is, in fact, only “still exploring options.”
Etopia
News apologies for
any confusion its reporting may have caused.
