ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEGAL CAREERS IN BRAZIL: A REVIEW AND PROPOSED RESEARCH AGENDA

Unlike other technological innovations in which mechanization replaced manual and routine professions, Artificial Intelligence mainly impacts qualified and strategic professions such as judges, lawyers and civil servants. The aim of this study is to map the applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Brazilian judiciary, the impact on traditional legal careers and propose a research agenda for future studies. The purpose of this work is to provoke academia, managers and legal professionals on the subject and to contribute by reducing gaps, considering that there is still little research on AI and Law in Brazil. Therefore, through a qualitative and descriptive study, a review of national and international literature was carried out, as well as a mapping of AI applications in the private legal sector and in Brazilian courts. A limitation of the study is the fact that AI technologies are recent and many are still in the developing stage. Finally, it proposes a research agenda for future studies aiming to evaluating the impacts of AI in the field of Law and the contributions to the efficiency of Brazilian justice.
