Will your occupation be replaced by AI?
Will you as a lawyer be replaced by AI?
More exposed than 90 % of the 774 occupations in the research
The reason you rank so high is that much of what you do every day,writing pleadings, summarising legal cases, drafting contracts,is exactly the kind of text work AI is good at. But that doesn’t mean you should start worrying, because what AI can never take over is what makes you a lawyer: standing in court, interpreting the spirit of the law, and above all, understanding your client’s situation deeply. In EuroWork, for example, you can ask the AI to quickly compare two versions of a contract so you don’t have to flip back and forth, or get a first draft of a pleading that you then refine with your own experience.
What is AIOE?
AIOE stands for AI Occupational Exposure and is the researchers' measure of how much of an occupation's tasks AI could in principle perform. A high score means much of the working day can be done with AI, a low one that most of it requires hands, presence or physical work. The measure says nothing about what actually happens to the jobs: exposed does not mean replaced, that is decided by how the workplace takes on the technology.
Source: the AIOE measure from Felten, Raj and Seamans' published data file (Strategic Management Journal). The percentile is calculated against all 774 occupations in the research.
Exposed is not replaced. The difference is whether the workplace makes AI use shared and visible, or lets everyone take their chances in private accounts.
