You guys don’t get it yet.
Everyone keeps saying AI is going to replace lawyers.
I don’t think people understand how this actually plays out.
Let’s say you use AI to draft a contract.
The contract misses something important. A year later it costs you two million dollars.
What do you do?
Right now, you sue your lawyer.
In the AI world, you’d sue the AI company.
Two things can happen.
Option 1: The AI company has liability for legal advice.
If that’s the case, every AI company will immediately stop letting consumers use AI for real legal work. The liability risk is massive.
Option 2: The AI company has no liability because of disclaimers.
If that happens, every state bar in the country will say consumers are being exposed to unregulated legal advice and call it the unauthorized practice of law.
And they’ll shut it down that way.
Either path leads to the same outcome.
Consumer AI will be limited to generic “Wikipedia-style” legal information and LegalZoom level document prep.
But the real AI tools?
Those will live inside law firms.
Lawyers will use them to move faster, analyze more data, and run way more matters at once.
The M&A lawyer doing 5 deals at a time will do 50.
Trial lawyers will run far more cases simultaneously.
The idea that AI replaces lawyers probably dies.
The more likely outcome is that AI supercharges the best lawyers and makes the profession even more profitable than ever.
BREAKING: Lawyers are trying to protect their jobs from Ai.
A proposed New York law would ban AI from answering questions related to medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, & more.
It is being pushed by the lawyer lobbyists, they included other groups to get more support.
