Abstract

The Mauritius Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2018, established by the government, aims at making Artificial Intelligence (AI) a cornerstone of the next development model by recognizing the potential of technology to improve growth, productivity and quality of life. In this regard, AI has already started to shape the legal sector, for instance, by assisting law practitioners to identify and minimize bias in client intake, offer initial consultation solutions, expand the scope of information for law practitioners and predict the outcome of future legal cases, among others. Nevertheless, while the legal profession worldwide is facing pressure to innovate and transform, the emergence of AI is causing significant disruption to long-established practices in the legal world, especially since this particular sector has traditionally under-utilized technology. Consequently, this study seeks to assess the influence of AI on employees from the legal profession mainly in terms of their performance, their reaction, and adaptability to change and to identify the challenges faced by these employees in Mauritius in adopting AI for their operational activities.

人工智能的影响及其挑战的研究:对毛里求斯法律部门雇员的影响

毛里求斯政府制定的《2018年毛里求斯人工智能战略》旨在通过认识到技术在提高增长、生产力和生活质量方面的潜力，使人工智能(AI)成为下一个发展模式的基石。在这方面，人工智能已经开始影响法律部门，例如，通过协助法律从业人员识别和减少客户接收中的偏见，提供初步咨询解决方案，扩大法律从业人员的信息范围，预测未来法律案件的结果等。然而，尽管全世界的法律行业都面临着创新和转型的压力，但人工智能的出现正在对法律界长期建立的实践造成重大破坏，特别是因为这一特定领域传统上未充分利用技术。因此，本研究旨在评估人工智能对法律专业员工的影响，主要包括他们的表现、反应和对变化的适应能力，并确定毛里求斯这些员工在将人工智能应用于业务活动时面临的挑战。
