Artificial intelligence and its place in legal science

Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence on the legal sphere, analyzing its potential, benefits, and challenges. The article emphasizes the synergy between artificial intelligence and lawyers, where technology acts as an assistant rather than a substitute for human judgment, creativity, and empathy. The relevance of the topic is due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, which are penetrating deeper and deeper into the legal sphere, affecting the efficiency of lawyers, ethical standards and principles of justice. The author examines how artificial intelligence, defined as an intelligent system capable of self-learning and autonomous problem solving, can optimize routine processes such as document preparation, legal research, and precedent analysis, while creating new challenges for the legal system. This paper explores the potential of artificial intelligence to increase the efficiency of lawyers by automating routine tasks such as classifying offenses, analyzing court precedents, and predicting decisions based on big data. At the same time, the author draws attention to the limitations of this technology, including bias arising from biased training data, the possibility of generating false information, privacy issues, and ethical challenges. The legal aspects of liability for damage caused by artificial intelligence, especially in the context of autonomous systems, are also considered, as well as the risks of over-reliance on algorithms, which may slow down the adaptation of the legal system to social changes. The author's conclusions emphasize that artificial intelligence has the potential to make the legal system more responsive and efficient, but its integration requires a clear legal framework. Regulation should cover data protection, elimination of bias, transparency of algorithms, and liability. Without this, artificial intelligence may increase inequality, violate the principles of justice, and undermine trust in the administration of justice. Thus, the article offers a vision of the harmonious coexistence of artificial intelligence and human factors in jurisprudence, emphasizing the importance of training lawyers to work with technology and improving artificial intelligence to improve the legal profession.
