基于生成式人工智能法律服务的数智化发展逻辑与建构路径

The Development Logic and Construction Path of Digital Intelligence in Legal Services Based on the Artificial Intelligence Generated Content

生成式人工智能在将法律服务的运作场景推向一个崭新境界的同时,也必将在“器”和“道”的层面对法律服务产生结构性影响,使法律从业者面临职业角色的转型和工作归属的重塑。从功能主义的角度看,对生成式AI在法律服务中地位和角色的考察,不应再囿于现有制度体系和职业逻辑,而是要超越传统的职业视角和“工具论”立场,理解法律服务数智化发展的复杂动态和不确定性,全面考察生成式AI应用于法律服务的技术机理、行业可行性和赋能场景,分析“工具论”心理可能引发的法律职业“去技能化”现象,系统探讨生成式AI在重塑法律服务的基本内涵、运作范式、群体构成、市场供给关系等方面的深层次影响。不过,以宏观视角考察法律与技术的关系,生成式AI还不能完全取代法律职业群体,因为蕴含于其衍生逻辑中的一些根源性问题以及AI技术与法律固有属性之间的内在张力尚未得到解决。以生成式AI赋能法律服务,需要在国家、职业、市场、技术等层面调和法律职业与智能技术之间的属性张力,并关注可能存在的风险。

While renovating the operational scenario of legal service to a new stage,generative artificial intelligence also has a structural impact on legal professions both“instrumentally”and“conceptually”,forcing legal practitioners to face the transformation of professional roles and job attributes.From a functionalist perspective,it is no longer acceptable that we limit our stances and means to existing institutional systems and professional logic when probing into the status and role of generative AI in legal service.On the contrary,investigators ought to go beyond traditional and professional perspectives and“instrumental”positions,to understand the complex dynamics and uncertainties of the digital development of legal service,and to comprehensively examine the technical mechanism,industry feasibility and empowerment modes of generative AI’s application in legal service,and on the basis of which,to analyze the“de-skilling”phenomenon within legal professions that may be triggered by the“instrumental theory”psychology,and further explore generative AI’s role in reshaping the basic connotation,operational paradigm,group composition,market supply relationship,and other aspects of legal services.However,when examining the relationship between law and technology from a macroscopic view,it is obvious that generative AI remains far from completely replacing the legal profession group,as some fundamental issues inherent in its derivative logic and the inherent tension between AI technology and the inherent attributes of law have not yet been resolved.Empowering legal services with generative AI requires reconciling the attribute tension between the legal profession and intelligent technology at the national,professional,market,and technological levels,and paying attention to potential risks.
