OPINIÃO. Advogados na era da AI: obsoletos ou mais poderosos?
Na trilogia De Volta para o Futuro, os protagonistas viajam para o futuro – 2015 – e, ao chegarem, Marty McFly fica surpreso com a rapidez da condenação de seu filho, apenas poucas horas após o incidente no qual se envolvera.

The article "Advogados na era da AI: obsoletos ou mais poderosos?" examines the impact of artificial intelligence on the legal profession. The film "Back to the Future" famously imagined a future where lawyers became obsolete due to the speed of justice. In reality, AI has already begun to impact the legal field, particularly in tasks involving language, analysis, and idea synthesis.
A 2023 study by OpenAI and UPenn found that language-intensive and text-analysis professions are most vulnerable to AI. Goldman Sachs estimated that 17% of legal jobs in the US are at risk. Some AI use has been detected in courtrooms, such as a judge in Rio de Janeiro identifying AI use in a petition and the STJ investigating AI manipulation attempts.
However, AI use in the legal field is still limited to relatively simple tasks like law and case research, writing, and text summarization. While AI can boost legal professionals' productivity, it is unlikely to replace human involvement, especially in strategic decisions. The legal profession must adapt and update its culture to integrate AI transparently.
The article suggests that the legal industry may eventually display both the professionals' and AI technologies' credentials, but a complete shift away from lawyers seems far-fetched.
