Artificial intelligence refers to the possibility of intelligent information and communication
How is AI applied in jurisprudence today?
The profession of a lawyer is rightly considered to be difficult, interesting, and not every person is able to master it qualitatively.Nevertheless, in recent years, artificial intelligence has been actively introduced into the field of jurisprudence.With the help of artificial intelligence, law firms and organizations expect to reduce the workload of employees, thereby saving time and money on labor costs.
Now AI capabilities are most activeare applied in areas of jurisprudence that are easiest to automate. These include the preparation of acts and contracts, the classification and verification of documents, that is, those actions that previously had to be done according to existing templates, but manually, spending a lot of time. Automation of these functions can significantly relieve employees of courts, advocacy, notaries, law firms and departments of organizations. At the same time, to perform such functionality, human creativity is not required; most functions are already being handled by artificial intelligence.
An example is"Robot-lawyer", which was patented in September 2020 by the legal department of Sberbank. This robot is the first AI-based system for checking the legal capacity of legal entities in Russia. With the help of the “Robot-lawyer”, it is possible to check more than 20 documents for each transaction, including information on the bankruptcy of a company, liquidation or reorganization of a legal entity, data in an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. High speed and maximum accuracy when processing huge amounts of data allows you to reduce the costs and time spent on the activities of a whole staff of living lawyers.
In the US, the penetration of AI technologies into the fieldjurisprudence is even wider. There are a large number of start-ups offering a variety of legal assistance. For example, Dashboard Legal, which is a project management system, helps lawyers and lawyers track documents and deadlines, as well as collaborate remotely with colleagues, eliminating the need for “good old” e-mail.
Can AI eventually replace "live" lawyers? And the lawyers?
Representatives of many professions, and lawyershere are no exception, they are anxious about talk about the future prospects for the use of "artificial intelligence". It seems to them that he will be able to force out human lawyers, and they will be left without work. To a certain extent, there is such a risk, but it is impossible to say that AI will be able to completely displace lawyers and attorneys.
First, while the possibilities of artificialintelligence are suitable for working with documentation, but they are frankly lacking where human intelligence and creativity are required. Therefore, lawyers will definitely not be left without work: AI does not know how to build a line of defense, make speeches in court, represent interests, participate in negotiations between the parties to the dispute and is unlikely to “learn”.
Likewise, the work of lawyers will also becontinue, only often - in the role of mentors for intelligent systems: if a person needs banal legal advice, he will receive it with the help of an intellectual system, and if a more detailed and thorough consultation, with an understanding of judicial practice, recommendations, then without a living lawyer in this case is indispensable.
However, in January 2023, for the first time in the United States,participation in the trial of a robot lawyer from DoNoPay Joshua Browder. The owner of the company agreed to pay any fines and other legal costs of the customer in case the robot loses the process.
What are the risks from excessive use of AI in jurisprudence?
The main risk of using artificialintelligence in jurisprudence is by no means that he, they say, is able to leave lawyers without work. The problem is in the “machine”, template approach to solving certain problems. We can already see the consequences of this approach in the banking system, where the decision to approve a mortgage or loan is made by AI. Guided by the laid down templates, he does not take into account the specifics, and as a result, his decision may not meet the real commercial interests of the bank. The same situation can be observed in the field of jurisprudence.
What areas of using AI in jurisprudence are the most promising?
First of all, artificial intelligence is most promising in such an area as the automation of litigation and claim work.Such work has never required high legal qualification and great creativity of the enforcement lawyer, so now the functions of drawing up pre-trial claims, responses to claims, statements of claim, and so on can be quite possiblebe transferred to intelligent systems.
The second important area is contractual work and document management.It is no less in demand, since it allows you to easily create templates of contracts, acts, statements.Only in the most difficult cases is it possible to transfer an agreement or an actfor review or correction by a human lawyer.
Here you can refer to the experience of ChineseJingshi law firm based in Beijing. She created the "Guidelines for the Operation of Online Lawyers' Offices in Beijing Law Firms During the Pandemic." The main focus of this program is on the management of the profit and loss of a law firm. The company uses software that falls into three main categories: costing and legal inquiry; division of working time and assignment of tasks to members of the legal team; verification of the case and judicial opinions. Such automation of the company's work significantly streamlines the work on any case entrusted to the firm's lawyers.
How to strike a balance between AI and "live" lawyers and lawyers in the future?
Further prospects for useartificial intelligence in jurisprudence appear promising. The growing capabilities of AI will soon allow it to take over much of the most routine work of lawyers. It is worth noting that lawyers themselves will only benefit from this: special programs can significantly relieve lawyers and lawyers, since they will perform a fairly wide range of functions.
It is important to correctly distribute tasks between AI andman. So, it is possible to draw up a standard, template agreement using a special program, but to develop an agreement that would take into account specific and complex specifics, it is possible only with the participation of a highly qualified specialist - a person.
Most importantly, don't get carried away.using machine systems in an attempt to save money on the salaries of living lawyers. Such a desire will not lead law firms, law firms or public authorities to the desired results, but will only create additional problems. Artificial intelligence and lawyers in the world of the future should complement each other and be useful to society.
