Benjamin Alarie, a professor at U of T's Faculty of Law, launched the AI-powered legal-tech startup Blue J Legal in 2015 and is now the subject of an educational documentary aimed at legal and accounting professionals. Benjamin Alarie  is an expert in taxation law who set on a path several years ago to change how legal research is done. A professor in the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, Alarie co-founded legal tech startup Blue J Legal in 2015 with fellow University of Toronto Law faculty members Anthony Niblett  and  Albert Yoon. The company's software draws upon artificial intelligence to provide instant and comprehensive answers in complex areas of tax, labour, and employment law. Now, Alarie is the subject of an educational documentary. "Artificial intelligence is not going to take your job - professionals who use artificial intelligence will replace professionals who don't use artificial intelligence," says Alarie in the trailer to  A.I. Taxman, which premieres at the Isabel Bader Theatre on Sept. The event is co-hosted by Blue J Legal, the filmmakers, UDocs and University of Toronto's  Future of Law Lab  at the Faculty of Law.
