Artificial Intelligence, Justice System, Challenges, AdvantagesAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to transform various areas of society, and the legal field is no exception. The application of AI in the legal sector has generated both excitement and concern, as it offers a wide range of benefits but also presents significant challenges for legal professionals. This article aims to analyze the main impacts of AI on legal practice, assessing its advantages and the challenges it poses for lawyers, judges, and other actors in the judicial system. One of the main advantages of AI in the legal world is its ability to automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, such as reviewing legal documents, classifying information, and drafting contracts. This automation not only improves efficiency but also reduces costs, allowing legal professionals to focus on higher-value tasks, such as strategic analysis and complex decision-making. However, the integration of artificial intelligence in the legal field is not without its challenges. One of the greatest fears is the possible replacement of human professionals by machines. While AI can take on many tasks, its ability to interpret the law and apply common sense in complex contexts remains limited. This raises concerns about the dehumanization of law and the loss of the empathy that lawyers bring to dealing with their clients.
