Mr. Nie Sufang pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence is a general trend, and in the face of the change of the times, lawyers should face and meet the challenges with a positive mindset. The opportunities brought by AI for the legal service industry are obvious, and in order to seize these opportunities, it is necessary for legal people to pay attention to and strengthen technical education and training work, actively participate in technology research and development, and promote the deep integration of technology and legal profession.

At the same time, in order to cope with the challenges brought by AI technology to lawyers' traditional working methods and fields, Mr. Nie believes that it is necessary for lawyers to change their working methods and expand new practice areas, especially focusing on the cultivation of individual uniqueness of human beings differentiated from AI, and further tapping and giving full play to the subjective initiative of human beings, in order to maintain a unique competitive advantage.
