Abstract： With the continuous advancement of technology, artificial intelligence has increasingly entered more professional fields, and has been widely used especially in the legal profession. This is due to the use of artificial intelligence in the drafting of legal documents, the retrieval of laws, regulations and cases, and contract review. It has unique advantages, as well as legal practice requires multi-disciplinary knowledge, specific cases require efficiency and fair costs, and the high cost of legal labor. However, artificial intelligence itself has human rights issues, ethical issues, lack of legal supervision, and algorithm problems. There are stubborn diseases such as discrimination. Regarding the legal profession, there are also problems such as the inability to solve technical problems, the inability to understand the norms, the inability to make value judgments, and the lack of creative thinking. Therefore, when using artificial intelligence, we must persist in viewing it dialectically, criticizing and questioning, and insisting on being "people-centered". Artificial intelligence is only an auxiliary tool. In the inevitable future, artificial intelligence will be increasingly used in legal practice, which puts forward new requirements for legal education in the new era. Artificial intelligence-related knowledge should be integrated into university legal education. Cultivate "artificial intelligence + law" compound talents, focus on the education of legal professional ethics, and ultimately achieve the harmonious symbiosis of law and technology.
