AI is unlikely to completely replace lawyers, but it will significantly transform the legal profession. It excels at automating repetitive tasks such as document review, legal research, and contract analysis, thereby increasing efficiency. However, legal work requires uniquely human skills like judgment, creativity, empathy, and advocacy—qualities that AI cannot replicate. According to the American Bar Association, AI is intended to enhance legal services as a tool rather than replace lawyers, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between humans and technology.
