The incorporation of artificial intelligence in legal practice in Uganda: Prospects and socio-economic issues

Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into legal practice is transforming the global legal landscape, and Uganda is no exception. This article examines the prospects and socio-economic implications of AI adoption in Uganda’s legal sector. It explores the potential of AI to enhance legal research, streamline case management, and improve access to justice through automated legal services. However, the incorporation of AI also raises critical socio-economic issues, including job displacement, the digital divide, and regulatory challenges. The article analyzes the readiness of Uganda’s legal infrastructure for AI, the ethical considerations, and the potential impact on legal professionals and clients. By assessing both opportunities and challenges, this study offers insights into how Uganda can navigate the evolving intersection of law and technology, ensuring equitable benefits from AI in the legal domain.
