THE FUTURE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION UNDER THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF MONGOLIA

Abstract

The ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution is fundamentally 
transforming the traditional paradigm of the legal sector worldwide. 
As of 2024, 79 percent of international law firms have already 
integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their operations, indicating 
that this technology has evolved from a mere “support tool” into a 
“strategic partner.” 
In the case of Mongolia, the planned adoption of a national AI strategy 
in 2025, along with the use of national platforms such as “LawTech,” 
demonstrates a certain level of technological readiness. However, from 
a legal standpoint, a “regulatory gap” persists, as a comprehensive 
legal framework governing the use of AI in the legal profession—
particularly in terms of responsibility and ethical regulation—has yet 
to be established. This study aims to identify how the value of the legal profession is 
evolving under the influence of AI and to examine, through a 
comparative analytical approach, the issues of “hallucination” and 
ethical responsibility within the domestic legal environment.
