According to Jason Boehmig, CEO of the contract intelligence company, Ironclad, “AI is never going to replace lawyers, but lawyers who use AI and lawyers who use technology are absolutely going to replace lawyers who don’t”. I am sure our future is surrounded by technology, it will be all about technology and to be specific technology will surely rule our lives. This change has begun and in the upcoming days AI, ML & IoT going to be the zeitgeist-creator of the era. Everything will be coated with technology and if something is not coated with technology, and then it is of no use! Moreover, technology in legal industry is definitely uplifting the standards, but the question here is will it completely replace? No, technology might be used as an assistant for humans to assist in completion of work whereas it cannot perform what humans are capable of doing. Although technology can speed up work but humans are the ultimate destination for all the legal practices, legal research and legal actions.
