The future of the legal profession in the age of artificial intelligence: confrontation or interaction

Due to the advancement of technology and the development of artificial intelligence, we have faced changes in all professions and societies. Legal professions, including advocacy, have not been an exception to this rule. This change has created threats and opportunities in all fields. Given the position of legal professions, which are sometimes advisory in nature, these professions can undergo many changes. If we neglect their tools and foundations in this field, as well as how to use them, we are faced with threats that if we try to learn and teach these things, we can turn these threats into opportunities. The philosophy of the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) generally seeks to answer questions related to the capabilities and limitations of humans and machines in thinking, learning, and solving problems. This philosophy is related not only to technological advances but also to deeper questions such as the nature of intelligence, consciousness, ethics, and the limitations of human reason. In this article, we try to examine all these threats and introduce the opportunities arising from artificial intelligence in the field of law, considering artificial intelligence tools and assistants.
