"The Impact on Skills The first point that resonated with me is that artificial intelligence tools can take those with poor skills in certain areas and significantly elevate their output. For example, Mollick cited a study that demonstrated that the performance of law students at the bottom of their class got closer to that of the top students with the use of AI."
"Interestingly, the study also found that those with higher skill sets found much less improvement in their outputs when using artificial intelligence. The study authors noted that both findings have implications for the practice, "This suggests AI may have an equalizing effect on the legal profession, mitigating inequalities between elite and nonelite lawyers." In essence, AI levels the playing field when it comes to abilities and possible expertise."
Artificial intelligence tools can markedly elevate the performance of lower-skilled practitioners, bringing them closer to higher-performing peers. A study found law students at the bottom of their class improved toward top students when using AI, while higher-skilled individuals experienced much smaller gains. The differential improvement implies an equalizing effect that could mitigate inequalities between elite and nonelite lawyers. Anecdotal reports indicate that previously mediocre opposing counsel have become substantially better through AI assistance. The legal market remains highly competitive for profitable work, and elite lawyers continue to command higher rates and maintain advanced levels of practice.
