Abstract

The article focuses on the evolving role of lawyers in governing artificial intelligence (AI) within the framework of law and human values. It traces the foundational role of lawyers in shaping the United States through legal reasoning and argues that, as AI increasingly influences society, lawyers must ensure that human judgment, accountability, and constitutional principles guide AI governance. The piece highlights current legislative and regulatory efforts in the U.S., including federal and state initiatives, and references international frameworks that emphasize the rule of law in AI oversight. Ultimately, it calls on the legal profession to bridge technology and ethics, preserving human dignity and responsibility amid rapid technological change. [Extracted from the article]
