CHICAGO, Dec. 15, 2025 - The American Bar Association's Task Force on Law and Artificial Intelligence released its final report recently.
The AI Task Force "Year 2 Report on the Impact of AI on the Practice of Law" focuses on the future of AI and the law. The task force, created in August 2023, brought together lawyers and judges from across the ABA to address the impact of AI on the legal profession and the practice of law.
Recognizing AI's enormous potential for the legal profession and beyond, the task force addressed some of the most pressing and challenging legal issues facing society today, including the profound impact of AI on the legal profession and the rule of law, the courts, legal education, access to justice, governance and risk management, as well as challenges presented by generative AI and ethical dilemmas.
The report addresses these areas and provides insights and resources that will equip the legal community to address these developments effectively. It also lists AI-related programs and events recommended by the task force and from across the ABA, many of which are available to lawyers, judges and members of the public at ambar.org/aiLaw.
The AI Task Force, in collaboration with ABA Science and Technology Law Section, released a book during the ABA 2024 Annual Meeting titled "Artificial Intelligence: Legal Issues, Policy, and Practical Strategies," which features contributions from more than 40 preeminent authorities offering practical strategies, legal analysis and reflections on the influence that AI will have on both the legal profession and the law.
"As the national voice for the legal profession, the ABA is uniquely positioned to assess the opportunities and challenges that AI presents and to help ensure its integration is ethical and responsible and serves the public good," the report said.
