Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law -- Taking Lawyers’ Skills as an Observation

摘要

In the legal field, robot judges and lawyers often cause people's concerns, especially the breakthrough development of generative artificial intelligence, which has triggered a new round of anxiety about machines replacing people. Legal artificial intelligence systems represented by ChatGPT4.0 and Deepseek have attracted the attention of the legal community. As legal technology, they provide a specific practical picture. Legal artificial intelligence first breaks through the cognitive limitations of lawyers and realizes rational decision-making and knowledge innovation. They focus on complex legal reasoning activities, reduce costs, improve efficiency, break the traditional growth model of the master-apprentice relationship, and are conducive to the balanced distribution of legal service resources and the improvement of international participation. Unavoidable problems arise with it. Compared with the legal services provided by traditional lawyers, legal artificial intelligence lacks empathy and value judgment ability, the reliability of the data models and analyses generated by algorithms they provide is questionable. The differences and imbalances in the input of the original data will make it difficult to guarantee the authenticity and security of the information. Finally, the responsible subjects and supervision of legal artificial intelligence are still unclear. Taking the legal services provided by lawyers as the clue, using comparative analysis, empirical analysis, and case analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of traditional legal profession and artificial intelligence lawyer skills are compared. In the future, human-machine symbiosis and human-machine interaction will be common phenomena. Making full use of the ever-evolving technology to improve the accuracy of lawyers in their practice areas is a trend of integrating high technology and professional knowledge.
