| Summary: | This paper looks at the use and utility of artificial intelligence (AI) in the
area of legal profession globally and in Malaysia. The objective of the
article was to highlight the types of AIs and their capabilities, and the
effect of such technologies on the effectiveness and efficiency of legal
service, as well as the threat that they may present to millions of graduates
of law in the workplace. The research was conducted in the form of an
integrated literature review by analysing and synthesising various ideas
and opinions relating to the primary objective of the paper. It is found that
the threat of technology is very minimal and it may affect those in lower
ranks who see no need for upgrading their skills. Overall, it is found that
AIs improve work efficiency and save costs, on top of fast and cheap
delivery of legal services. The paper suggests that Malaysian legal services
and education curriculum embrace the technology, and prepare their
graduates in skills needed in high tech environments. |
