The Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Legal Education and Coping Strategies

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence brings both opportunities and challenges to higher education, with far - reaching implications especially in the field of legal education. This paper delves into its multi - faceted impacts on legal education, including positive effects such as expanding teaching resources and promoting personalized learning, as well as negative impacts like triggering academic ethical issues and infringing legal rights. Meanwhile, it analyzes the regulatory strategies of China, the European Union, and the United States, and proposes that China should construct a cautious and inclusive regulatory framework, implement an agile governance and full - chain governance system, and clarify the responsibilities of all parties. China has advantages in personal information protection and data legislation. In the future, it should combine the needs of the local AI industry, leverage its existing governance advantages, promote the sustainable development of the generative AI industry, and build a globally influential legal system for governance.
