Lawyers
Lawyers perform high-level knowledge work that is almost entirely digital, involving document drafting, legal research, and complex data analysis—all areas where LLMs excel. While courtroom advocacy and high-stakes interpersonal negotiation provide a protective barrier, the vast majority of billable hours are spent on tasks that AI can now significantly accelerate or automate, leading to major structural changes in the profession.
