Legal Profession in an Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This article can be read on its own. If you would like a more holistic perspective, you may wish to consider reading also Chapter 4 Legal Profession in an Age of Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Technology of my book Future of Work in an Age of Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Technology. My article is divided into 5 sections : introduction in Section 1; overview of generative artificial intelligence (“GAI” or “Generative AI”) in Section 2; challenges posed by the use of Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer (“ChatGPT”) in legal services in Section 3; my suggested guardrails on the use of ChatGPT in legal services in Section 4 with my concluding remarks in Section 5.
