With AI becoming more prevalent in day-to-day operations, the word "consultant" may soon take on a new meaning. That's because these intelligent systems will be making decisions and providing insights that would have previously required human consultants. The implications for the legal field are even more significant. The potential for AI to replace many current lawyers' tasks and perform them automatically is real – and it's only a matter of time before it becomes the law of the land. These technologies can intuitively capture information in ways humans never could, as well as predict who might need their services down the road – all without charging any higher rates than their human counterparts.
