eGANGES…tech crash or tech boom
Just by putting an ‘e’ at the beginning of a word in the 21st century won’t make a system more or less successful…although ebay seems to be doing pretty well from it.After two very interesting lectures on the development and demonstration of eganges, I was amazed at the incomprehensible genius of the creators Pamela and Xenogene Gray and the complexity and logic put into the system was quite extraordinary. I commend the Grays for what they have done in the field of expert system shells.But I am somewhat concerned of the commercial and legal liability of this operating system. Particularly with it being sold as an expert system shell, this does not to justice to the work that has been put into the system, as possible clients would need an expert to create the system. If they had an expert that would mean that the firm already has that knowledge and therefore would not need the system.My recommendation is, for the creators to contact QC’s in certain areas of expertise and create expert systems these different areas of law. They could then sell small systems on areas to firms which operate in them, such as a firm specialising in conveyancing or employment dispute et al. Smaller firms particularly would be most benefited as they are not likely to have an expert as knowledgeable as a QC. Discounts can be given for multiple areas being ordered as well as more returns from future updates in the law.This I believe will be a better path.
