Artificial intelligence is opening up new opportunities for lawyers. Maqsut Narikbayev University (MNU) hosted an international conference on the future of the legal profession in the age of AI. The event brought together members of the Kurultai, legal professionals and experts from the United States, Türkiye, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Participants discussed the integration of AI into legal education, the training of future lawyers and the development of professional standards. Experts noted that AI can help organise legal information and automate routine tasks. However, legal assessments and decision-making must remain in human hands. Participants also learned about the university’s new approaches to preparing aspiring lawyers.
«We have launched a programme based on the AI+X model. For two years, students study AI and IT, including systems, coding, databases, machine learning and data science. They then spend two years focusing on their chosen fields, such as law, economics, linguistics, finance and management. We believe this approach will become the dominant one over the next five to ten years,» said Sergey Pen, Deputy Chairman of the MNU Board for Research, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence.
