This is the address where you will find information on the First Global Report on the State of Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice – the first report showing how artificial intelligence (AI) has been embraced by the legal world, transforming work methods, optimizing processes and creating new opportunities.
In 2023, Prof. Michal Jackowski and Dr. Michal Araszkiewicz, in collaboration with 25 researchers, have prepared the first global report on the AI and rights. They invited 203 firms from around the world to participate in the survey, from the smallest ones employing 1-10 lawyers to the largest network firms employing thousands of lawyers. They asked them about their knowledge of artificial intelligence and the degree of openness to tools based on it; what repetitive work in law firms can be replaced by AI and what tools can be used to do so; lawyers’ predictions about how AI will change the way the industry works and the challenges and risks involved; and the tools lawyers use today and the criteria they use to choose them. The companies that responded to our survey represent a total of more than 50,000 lawyers and 100,000 employees. This is therefore a very representative sample.
The results obtained by Michal Jackowski and Michal Araszkiewicz are interesting. As many as 51% of law firms are already using AI-based tools, with an additional 12% actively seeking them out. According to the companies, nearly 40% of lawyers’ tasks can be replaced by artificial intelligence. This figure is higher among companies whose core business is litigation – they are ready to replace humans with algorithms for more than half of the tasks. The survey’s authors asked lawyers how open they were to adapting artificial intelligence. More than 80% of those surveyed believed that artificial intelligence will revolutionize the legal market within 3 years. However, lawyers are not worried about being replaced by robots and algorithms.
