Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing various sectors, with the legal profession being no exception. This review paper examines how AI is transforming legal practice, highlighting both the opportunities and ethical challenges it presents. By analyzing advancements in AI technologies such as natural language processing, machine learning, and predictive analytics, the paper explores their applications in legal research, case management, and client services. Furthermore, it addresses the ethical concerns associated with AI adoption in law, including issues of transparency, accountability, and bias. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of AI on the legal field and offer insights into how the profession can navigate the evolving landscape.
