Automate-adjacent. Keep the parts only you can sign off on.
53% 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. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare affidavits or other documents, such as legal correspondence, and organize and maintain documents in paper or electronic filing system
- Prepare legal documents, including briefs, pleadings, appeals, wills, contracts, and real estate closing statements
- Prepare for trial by performing tasks such as organizing exhibits
- Investigate facts and law of cases and search pertinent sources, such as public records and internet sources, to determine causes of action and to prepare cases
- File pleadings with court clerk
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Meet with clients and other professionals to discuss details of case
- Call upon witnesses to testify at hearing
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.
