The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Legal Theory and Practice: Research Insights from Chinese Scholars

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially large models and generative AI, a profound transformation has been demonstrated by the application of AI in the realm of jurisprudence. Under gradually penetrating to multiple levels such as judicial adjudication, legal services, jurisprudence research and education, AI has also transformed traditional jurisprudence into intelligence and automation. AI has improved the accuracy and efficiency of judicial decisions through data analysis and machine learning, promoting the workflow intelligence in legal services, which innovated teaching models in legal education. However, issues still occurs in the application of AI such as technical implementation, legal basis, ethical challenges, and legal regulations, in terms of algorithmic bias, transparency, and interpretability in especial. Thus, this paper will review the application advances of AI in the field of jurisprudence, analyze the changes and challenges brought and the future development, so as to provide a reference for related researches.
