Abstract

This work aimed to identify in the intemational scientific literature the main topics studied when dealing with the impacts of the use of Artificial Intelligence in legal careers and contribute to the conformation of an overview of the current state of the art. The research was carried out through a literature review called systematic mapping, of the qualitative meta-analysis type, with the application of the approach of Okoli & Schabram (2010). The basic criteria adopted in the definition of the research followed the taxonomy of Vergara (2007). As for the means, the research is characterized as bibliographic and as for the purpose, as exploratory.  The findings only confirmed that the implementation of artificial intelligence brings impacts that can vary both depending on the reaction of organizational forces and the speed of technology development.
