AI is beginning to change the business of law

AI is quietly rewriting the rules of the legal profession, automating document review and even drafting contracts—a shift that could redefine billable hours and ethics. More than 60% of top 100 law firms now use AI for contract analysis, reducing review time by 40% compared to human-only teams. This outperforms the efficiency gains seen in #2's satellite rescue scenario, where human skill remains irreplaceable.
