In this latest Law Punx blast, legal AI expert Antti Innanen challenges the comforting narrative that AI will allow lawyers to do more strategic legal work once laborious tasks have been absorbed.
He says that for many this won’t happen, and even for those who do get this opportunity, do you really want to spend all day working on high-stress, strategic legal questions? Plus, AI will get better, so there is no reason to assume it won’t be able to do these higher-level tasks as well eventually.
In short, the comforting idea that AI will only do basic tasks and allow lawyers to merrily spend all their time doing ‘strategic work’ is a myth.
