Revolutionizing the Legal Landscape: AI's Role in Shaping Modern Legal Practice

With an emphasis on the groundbreaking possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) innovations like deepfakes and generative AI, this study investigates the nexus between artificial intelligence (AI) and the legal sector. The first section explores the topic of deepfakes, looking at how machine learning algorithms are used to create them and the consequences they have in both positive and negative situations. Although deepfakes can improve the production of media and instructional materials, there are serious concerns associated with them, including fraud, misrepresentation, and invasions of privacy. Laws to prevent the unlawful use of deepfakes are being implemented in a number of jurisdictions as an answer to these difficulties.

The project's second section changes its emphasis to the use of AI in legal study and application. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as Westlaw Edge and Case Text use processing of natural languages to provide accurate information rapidly, thus streamlining legal study. Generative AI has enormous possibilities for legal document writing, study, due diligence, and litigation assistance. It can generate fresh material using learnt data patterns. But incorporating AI into the legal profession brings up ethical issues such as prejudice, secrecy, and the requirement for openness.

The study also demonstrates, through instances like the Supreme Court's SUPACE program or the Manipur High Court's usage of ChatGPT, the particular influence of AI on the Indian legal system. Although AI has the potential to improve efficiency and accuracy in the legal sector, issues like the possibility of false data and the lack of rules and regulations need to be resolved to guarantee its moral and practical application.
