Alibaba Chairman zu KI und Juristerei

Der Chairman von Alibaba, Joe Tsai, gab ein spannendes Interview auf CNBC: Er, selbst Jurist, führte zur juristischen Arbeit in Zeiten von künstlicher Intelligenz aus:

Tsai sagte: “I’m trained as a lawyer. In fact, the work of a lawyer is very similar to coding. When you write a contract, you’re actually writing code. The whole agreement, the whole document, has to fit well together—every sentence, every definition has to align. Well, AI can do a lot of that—I’d say most of it. So does that mean, in the future, lawyers will be replaced by AI? Not necessarily. Because what do you go to the most sophisticated lawyers for? You ask for counsel. Counsel is not something that’s purely technical or black and white. It’s judgment. It’s about understanding the circumstances. And I still think that these jobs can just be enhanced by AI—rather than being replaced. That’s a hopeful view.”

Das sehe ich genauso: Juristische Routinetätigkeiten werden zunehmend von KI übernommen. Der eigentliche Mehrwert von Juristen liegt künftig weniger in der reinen Abarbeitung von Standardaufgaben, sondern vielmehr in strategischer Beratung, Verhandlungskompetenz und menschlichem Urteilsvermögen.
