The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal field holds significant potential for development. The application of this technology can make the legal system faster, more accurate, and more accessible. However, the use of AI also introduces ethical, legal, and social issues. In the future, appropriate legislative initiatives and ethical regulations must be established to ensure that the use of AI in the legal domain aligns with the principles of justice, transparency, and the rule of law. From this perspective, the article explores the development of AI, its role in the legal field, how this technology will impact the legal system in the future, its benefits and risks, and the associated ethical and legal issues.
