Half in the fire, half out. Choose which half you become.
43% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Analyze the probable outcomes of cases, using knowledge of legal precedents
- Advise clients concerning business transactions, claim liability, advisability of prosecuting or defending lawsuits, or legal rights and obligations
- Interpret laws, rulings and regulations for individuals and businesses
- Present evidence to defend clients or prosecute defendants in criminal or civil litigation
- Present and summarize cases to judges and juries
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Select jurors, argue motions, meet with judges, and question witnesses during the course of a trial
- Represent clients in court or before government agencies
- Supervise legal assistants
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
