Abstract Artificial Intelligence usage is growing at a rapid pace, altering the way we live our lives, perform our jobs, complete school work, and much more. I believe that one of the most important changes is in the legal field, more specifically, in corporate law.
There has been minimal research regarding how artificial intelligence is transforming the practice of corporate law, especially with regards to contract reviews, compliance, and possible risks.
The goal of my research is to determine whether A.l (artificial intelligence) will be detrimental or beneficial to the practice of corporate law. This is important because corporate law is one of the largest fields of law, and A.I, having recently emerged as widely used technology, is not comprehensively regulated, and its uses may not be known by the public. I intend to collect data by speaking with lawyers directly and conducting comprehensive reviews of Al's existing uses in the corporate law space via online databases reviews of Al's existing uses in the corporate law space via online databases such as the Damien Charlotin public report on over 871 cases of A.I in the legal field. I anticipate the findings of my research will be significant in helping us better understand ways to incorporate artificial intelligence into law-related fields, whether that be with tighter regulations, looser regulations, or banning Al usage altogether in specific capacities (such as in trial preparations, etc.).
