Computer searching has already removed the need for the huge historical cases where a large group of lawyers and pa's would search through old emails and docs to see if they could find something about a big case. Now that's generally done by computer searching. You can call that AI if you have a need to, but the trend is clear - white color work that is easily automated will become more efficient, leading to fewer workers in general.

Searching isn't AI, and one data point doesn't establish a trend. The very first steps to replacing a human lawyer with an AI are still very much unsolved research problems in the field of computing.
