ChatGPT and other legal AI software can create drafts of notices and contracts, locate and summarize cases in specific jurisdictions, and sift through a large number of documents to find critical provisions. More advanced AI software can provide rudimentary redlines of contractual provisions using language it obtained from clauses that were fed to the software. Lawyers are increasingly being asked about liability for autonomous vehicle accidents, drone regulations, complex cyber-security threats, cryptocurrencies and blockchain, and quantum computing. Finally, in all the predictions about the future of AI and the legal industry, something has been grossly under-appreciated. This requires a personal touch, a human mind, a lawyer's heart – things that AI, regardless of its sophistication, will never possess.
