Relax Lawyers, Nick Szabo Says Smart Contracts Won’t Kill Jobs
Nick Szabo, the man widely credited with inventing the smart contract concept, says smart contracts will not rid the world of lawyers, despite the greatest efforts of blockchain innovators, reports CoinDesk.
Szabo gave the keynote address at the Smart Contracts Symposium at Microsoft’s New York headquarters.
Reporter quoted Szabo as saying, “Lawyers worried about losing their jobs to robots, you’re actually doing something that’s mostly complimentary to a smart contract. Smart contracts are mostly making possible new things that haven’t been done before.”
