    This document outlines a presentation on artificial intelligence (AI) and its current and future applications in the legal practice. It discusses how AI is currently used for legal research, litigation strategy, contract review, and other tasks. While AI increases efficiency and reduces costs, concerns about bias, data privacy, and job displacement remain. The document also examines the current limited adoption of AI in Ghana's legal system but suggests its use will likely increase over time as firms adapt. It argues that AI will not replace lawyers but that those who learn to incorporate AI into their work will replace those who do not.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a phrase coined by John
    McCarthy, the father of AI in 1955.
    It is the development of computer systems able to
    perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence.
    Goal of AI development is to meet the need for and
    desire for automation in today’s fast-paced human
    lives

    attorney created by IBM technology in 2016.

    In 2016, U.S consultancy group McKinsey estimated
    that about 22% of what a lawyer does can be
    automated and 35% of a paralegal’s job can be
    automated.

    AI: lawyer’s replacement?
    It would be a mistake to use the
    extraordinary advances of AI to
    minimize the importance of the
    human element in the practice of
    law.
    But it would be just as big a
    mistake to dismiss the role of AI
    Key Points to Note
     Use of AI in legal practice is a reality and will increase with
    time. (Brown v BCA trading Ltd, 2016)
     AI technology is more suited for the research side of legal
    work.
     Legal practitioners in this 21st century must learn to be like an
    antelope, that is always learning how to run faster so that it
    will not be eaten by the fastest lion
     A.I will not replace lawyers, lawyers who use A.I will replace
    lawyers who do not
    Conclusion
     A.I was developed to improve human efficiency
     In the legal industry there are a lot uncertainties
     Its use has been proved to increase efficiency and profitability
     The discussion of A.I in Ghana's legal space is still a gray area hence
    firms that build their expertise and plan according in this will be
    ahead of the curve
     So far as A.I is concerned with legal industry the future is now
