The verdict for a notary
Public faith, legal responsibility and the legality check fall on a person with a signature; AI prepares, it doesn't attest.
What it means that it holds up: the core rests on something AI does not have — a body, presence, a bond, or judgment carrying real responsibility. AI helps at the edges, not at the centre.
In O*NET’s RIASEC framework, notary maps to a CES profile within the Law family. Which is to say, it turns mostly on:
C · Conventional: ordering, organising, the systematic.
E · Enterprising: leading, persuading, moving projects.
S · Social: helping, teaching, caring for others.
Your trade rests on something the machine does not have. The risk isn't being replaced: it's refusing the tools and ending up out-produced by whoever uses them.
The play for a notary:
Public trust, identity and legal responsibility: the core is a trust granted by the state, not information processing. Automate the file work; the signature stays yours.
They share a family or interests with notary. Useful if you’re thinking about a move.
