ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the legal field rapidly with various differeny ways like it is making many tasks faster, cheaper and more accurate, but this does not come without its problems. This paper throws spotlight at how AI has evolved in law from early expert systems that relied on fixed rules to modern machine learning and natural language processing tools which can learn from data, identify patterns, and understand human language. The United States is considered to be among the first countries to use AI widely in legal practice, achieving notable success with systems for legal research, predictive analytics, and e-discovery, although all the other countries are now catching up. Currently AI applications have wide and vivid spectrum varying from legal research & case analysis, contract review and drafting, predictive litigation strategy, e-discovery, compliance monitoring, to virtual legal assistants, all of which can provide “instant fixes” by reducing case delays as well as cutting costs. Moreover, it can also handle large amounts of information and minimising human errors. However, AI is not perfect and demands data and practice to be perfect; sometimes it gives incorrect citations, misreads documents, or lacks the ethical reasoning that human lawyers provide. There are also issues of bias, transparency, and accountability that must be managed carefully. Future prospects include smart contracts integrated with blockchain, virtual courtrooms, and hybrid decision-making models where AI assists judges but humans retain control. Therefore, this paper will analyse all the various dimensions where AI can be useful in the field of Law.
