Cohen suggests that the integration of generative AI into the legal industry will create clear winners and losers, distinguishing between those who adapt to the new technology and those whose roles are most susceptible to automation.
Who Will Benefit from Generative AI David R. Cohen's perspective indicates that legal professionals who embrace generative AI as a tool to enhance their work and focus on higher-value, strategic tasks will be the primary beneficiaries. This group includes:
Lawyers focused on "custom" work: Attorneys who handle unique, complex legal issues that require deep expertise, nuanced judgment, and creative problem-solving will find their skills augmented by AI, not replaced.
Litigators and high-level strategists: The core functions of trial advocacy, strategic case development, and client counseling are seen as inherently human-centric and less susceptible to automation. AI can serve as a powerful assistant for these professionals, handling research and data analysis while they focus on strategy.
Law firms that adapt their business models: Firms that move away from traditional billable hours for routine tasks and instead leverage AI to offer more efficient and value-based services will gain a competitive advantage. This includes hiring professionals with expertise in legal technology and operations.
Legal aid and access to justice: Cohen has noted that AI has the potential to make legal services more affordable and accessible to a wider range of people, benefiting both the public and the legal professionals who serve them.
Who Stands to Lose Conversely, Cohen has identified that individuals in roles characterized by repetitive and process-driven tasks are most at risk of being displaced by generative AI. These include:
Contract e-discovery data reviewers: The task of reviewing large volumes of documents for relevance and privilege is a prime candidate for automation by sophisticated AI tools.
Paralegals and first-year associates: A significant portion of the work traditionally assigned to these roles, such as document drafting, legal research, and case file organization, can be performed more efficiently by generative AI.
It's important to note that Cohen's view is not that these roles will be entirely eliminated, but rather that the nature of the work will change. Professionals in these positions will need to develop new skills to work alongside AI and focus on tasks that require critical thinking and human oversight. He emphasizes that AI should be seen as a tool that liberates legal professionals to concentrate on more substantive and strategic aspects of their work. |
