Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI I can see how AI could equal or exceed the work of human clerks and paralegals for conducting patent searches, digging through discovery data, or searching for red flags in long, boring contracts. Leveraging AI might also be a good first step before bringing in an (expensive) outside expert, or to make a lawyer’s usage of such an expert more effective. Now let’s look at the positive case. Reid: How might the adoption of AI in the practice of law positively impact the career prospects of current attorneys? What steps might those lawyers take to enhance their careers by using AI in their work? GPT-4: The adoption of AI in the practice of law could potentially lead to increased job opportunities for law- yers, as AI technology can automate certain routine tasks, freeing up lawyers’ time to focus on more com- plex and challenging areas of law. Lawyers can also use AI to enhance their understanding of the law by taking advantage of AI’s ability to quickly search through large amounts of data and information. Lawyers can also utilize AI to better understand the legal implications of certain cases and to develop creative solutions to legal issues. Lawyers can stay ahead of the curve by continu- ously learning about the latest advancements in AI tech- nology and how it can be applied to the practice of law. In my personal experience, the actual practice of law is more boring, tedious, and detail-obsessed than the typical television program or movie makes it seem. There’s a lot less delivering eloquent speeches to a jury, and a lot more reading thousands of pages of poorly written documents. AI would be terrible at the former, but is very good at the latter. 126
