Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous industries by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making processes. In the legal sector, AI technologies are increasingly being utilized to streamline tasks, improve research capabilities, and support legal professionals in making informed decisions. This thesis explores the impact of AI on legal decision-making processes, focusing on how these technologies are transforming the traditional practices within the legal domain. The study begins with an introduction to the topic, providing background information on the increasing integration of AI in legal settings. The problem statement highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in legal decision-making processes, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of its implications. The objectives of the study are to analyze the benefits and limitations of AI in legal decision-making, investigate the scope of AI applications in the legal sector, and assess the significance of integrating AI technologies in legal practices. A detailed literature review in Chapter Two examines previous studies and research findings related to AI in legal decision-making processes. The review covers ten key areas, including the role of AI in legal research, case prediction, contract analysis, and decision support systems. By synthesizing existing literature, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI adoption in the legal field. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, detailing the research design, data collection methods, and analytical techniques used to investigate the impact of AI on legal decision-making processes. The chapter includes eight sections, such as research approach, sampling strategy, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations, to ensure the rigor and validity of the study findings. In Chapter Four, the discussion of findings delves into the empirical results obtained from the research, presenting an in-depth analysis of how AI technologies influence legal decision-making processes. The chapter explores case studies, examples, and practical applications of AI tools in legal settings, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, summarizing the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and practice. The conclusion reflects on the transformative potential of AI in legal decision-making processes and underscores the importance of continuous evaluation and adaptation to leverage the benefits of these technologies effectively. This thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of AI on legal decision-making processes, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges that arise from the integration of AI technologies in the legal sector. By examining the evolving role of AI in legal practices, this study aims to inform policymakers, legal practitioners, and researchers about the implications of AI adoption and its potential to shape the future of the legal profession.
