導(dǎo)語(yǔ)：科技的進(jìn)步正在對(duì)法律行業(yè)產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)影響，人工智能和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)融入許多律師事務(wù)所和法律部門。然而，一些律師擔(dān)心他們的職業(yè)可能成為科技進(jìn)步的犧牲品。本文將探討人工智能如何改變法律行業(yè)，并解釋為什么人工智能不會(huì)取代律師，快跟著小編一起來(lái)看看吧！

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have already arrived in many law firms and legal departments. Remarkable advances in legal AI technology have led some lawyers to worry that their profession may soon become a victim of Silicon Valley.

人工智能（AI）和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入許多律師事務(wù)所和法務(wù)部。法律領(lǐng)域人工智能技術(shù)的顯著進(jìn)步使得一些律師擔(dān)心自己的職業(yè)可能很快就會(huì)成為技術(shù)發(fā)展的犧牲品。

AI and legal technology will not automate the legal profession out of existence. Technology will facilitate growth and productivity by increasing accuracy and driving efficiencies. Cleverly integrated AI algorithms are already transforming outcomes in corporate compliance, due diligence, contract management, and e-discovery. Also, numerous “l(fā)ess routine” use cases, including legal research, document mining, and predicting case outcomes, are becoming faster, better, and cheaper with the assistance of intelligent software.

法律行業(yè)不會(huì)因?yàn)槿斯ぶ悄芎头煽萍紟?lái)的自動(dòng)化而消失。通過(guò)提高準(zhǔn)確性和效率，技術(shù)能夠促進(jìn)法律行業(yè)發(fā)展，提高生產(chǎn)力。智能的集成AI算法已經(jīng)在企業(yè)合規(guī)、盡職調(diào)查、合同管理和電子發(fā)現(xiàn)等領(lǐng)域有所作為。此外，通過(guò)智能軟件的輔助，在包括法律文獻(xiàn)檢索、文本數(shù)據(jù)挖掘和案件結(jié)果預(yù)測(cè)等諸多“非常規(guī)”應(yīng)用場(chǎng)景下，從業(yè)人員工作效率更高、質(zhì)量更好，工作成本也更低了。

For lawyers and law firms who embrace artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, legal work will become more efficient and effective. More importantly, clients will demand it. Increasing sophistication in client technology adoption will apply pressure on law firms and lawyers, who will be selected for their technology-enhanced services and ability to focus on complex higher-value work to solve their clients’ legal and business problem.

對(duì)于采用人工智能和其他先進(jìn)技術(shù)的律師和律師事務(wù)所來(lái)說(shuō)，法律工作將變得更加高效且成果顯著。更重要的是，客戶也需要這樣的技術(shù)?？蛻舨杉{的技術(shù)越復(fù)雜，給律師事務(wù)所和律師帶來(lái)壓力就越大。（若）律師及事務(wù)所提供的服務(wù)技術(shù)含量不斷增強(qiáng)，并專注于解決客戶那些復(fù)雜且高價(jià)值的法律和業(yè)務(wù)問(wèn)題，他們會(huì)更容易受到客戶青睞。AI Won’t Replace Lawyers, but Lawyers Who Use AI Will Replace Those Who Don’t.人工智能不會(huì)取代律師，但使用人工智能的律師將取代那些不使用人工智能的律師。

Altman Weil’s2017 Law Firms in Transition Survey depicts a legal market experiencing increased price competition, a lack of efficiency in service delivery, an influx of new competitors, and the inescapable force of technology innovation. Therefore, to stay relevant, traditional law firms and legal departments must understand the potential of AI and legal technology. Lawyers must embrace the unique, emerging value of AI and build a legal culture that reinforces the human value—lawyers exercising independent professional judgment, focusing on meaningful, complex, and mission-critical work for their clients.

Altman Weil2017年發(fā)布的“轉(zhuǎn)型中的律所”調(diào)查中描述了這樣的法律市場(chǎng)：價(jià)格競(jìng)爭(zhēng)加劇、服務(wù)交付效率低、新競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者不斷涌入、技術(shù)創(chuàng)新不可避免。因此，為了緊跟發(fā)展，傳統(tǒng)的律師事務(wù)所和法務(wù)部必須了解人工智能和法律技術(shù)的潛力。律師們必須接受人工智能的獨(dú)創(chuàng)性和新興價(jià)值，并（據(jù)此）建立一個(gè)能夠強(qiáng)化人類價(jià)值的法律文化，即律師（繼續(xù)）進(jìn)行獨(dú)立的專業(yè)判斷，專注于為客戶進(jìn)行有意義、復(fù)雜和至關(guān)重要的工作。

Earlier this year, the McKinsey Global Institute found?that while nearly half of all tasks could be automated with current technology, only 5% of jobs could be entirely automated, estimating that 23% of a lawyer’s job can be automated. Technology will transform multiple aspects of legal work, but legal experts predict highly paid lawyers will spend their time on the top rungs of the “l(fā)egal ladder,” working on tasks with higher-level cognitive demands; non-lawyers or technology will perform the more routine legal services.

今年年初，麥肯錫全球研究所發(fā)現(xiàn)，盡管幾乎一半的任務(wù)可以利用當(dāng)前技術(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)化，但其中只有5%可以完全實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)化。據(jù)估計(jì)，律師工作中的23%可以實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)化。技術(shù)將從多個(gè)方面改變法律工作，但法律專家預(yù)測(cè)高薪律師將把時(shí)間花在“法律階梯”的頂層，即處理具有更高級(jí)認(rèn)知要求的任務(wù)，一般性法律服務(wù)將由非專業(yè)律師或自動(dòng)化技術(shù)提供。

（注釋：硅谷是指美國(guó)加利福尼亞州的硅谷地區(qū)，這個(gè)地區(qū)以眾多科技公司和創(chuàng)新企業(yè)的聚集而聞名，包括人工智能、機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)和其他高科技領(lǐng)域。因此，提到硅谷是指暗示這些先進(jìn)技術(shù)的發(fā)展可能會(huì)對(duì)律師的職業(yè)產(chǎn)生重大影響，甚至取代部分律師的工作。這也表達(dá)了一種擔(dān)憂，認(rèn)為科技的發(fā)展可能對(duì)傳統(tǒng)法律行業(yè)造成挑戰(zhàn)，使律師們面臨職業(yè)變革的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。）
