Abstract
In late 2022, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. At the time of writing this article, ChatGPT and other generative AI models were no longer used only to generate silly responses but were being considered for substantive work in our daily lives. Specifically, this article highlights how ChatGPT and other learned language models can have a strong impact on the practice of law. Within this article, the uses of these forms of AI are explained on multiple levels: the individual attorney, the law firm, and the non-attorney. Along with its diverse applications, this article delves into potential ethical dilemmas and data privacy concerns an attorney should be mindful of when implanting this tool into their practice. In sum, this article provides a comprehensive overview of ChatGPT, demonstrating its potential as a tool for legal professionals while also emphasizing the need for careful consideration of its ethical implications.
