一项针对2221名维多利亚州律师的调查显示，该州法律从业者的生成式人工智能（AI）采用率显著攀升，已从去年的37%升至55%1。这项由维多利亚州法律服务委员会及其专员下属的法律服务研究中心于2026年开展的报告指出，尽管技术普及度大幅提高，但受益程度有限，仅有26%的受访律师表示因效率提升而降低了客户的收费1。在工具选择上，绝大多数（79%）律师使用的是消费者级聊天机器人，如ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini和Copilot，而专门用于法律领域的AI工具使用率仅为22%1。
不同法律领域的AI渗透率存在明显差异，其中贸易惯例、银行与金融以及信息技术和电信行业的采纳率最高，分别达到85%、78%和78%1。相比之下，刑法（29%）、家庭法（45%）和行政法（46%）领域的AI应用则相对滞后1。首席研究员Georgie Rychner博士分析认为，商业客户更有可能享受到费用降低的红利，原因在于这类客户通常具备更高的法律能力，且可能自行利用AI技术处理部分事务1。
除了内部效率问题，AI的普及也给律师带来了新的工作负担。调查显示，46%的律师反映客户在咨询时携带了由AI生成的不准确或误导性信息，这增加了律师核实与澄清的工作量1。监管层面已对此作出回应，澳大利亚联邦法院已于今年4月发布了关于使用生成式AI的新规则1。此前在去年，一名维多利亚州律师因虚假引用被取消执业资格，成为全国首例因此受制裁的案例，凸显了行业对AI滥用风险的警惕1。
A survey conducted in 2026 by the Victorian Law Services Council and its Legal Services Research Centre involving 2,221 lawyers found that artificial intelligence usage among legal professionals in Victoria has risen significantly. The proportion of attorneys using AI in their work increased to 55%, up from 37% the previous year 1. Despite this adoption, only 26% of respondents reported lowering client fees as a result of efficiency gains 1.
The use of AI varies considerably across different legal practice areas. Adoption rates are highest in trade practices (85%), banking and finance (78%), and information technology and telecommunications (78%) 1. In contrast, engagement with these tools remains lower in criminal law (29%), family law (45%), and administrative law (46%) 1. Chief researcher Dr. Georgie Rychner noted that commercial clients are more likely to benefit from fee reductions because they possess higher legal literacy and may also utilize AI independently 1.
Regarding the specific tools used, 79% of surveyed lawyers rely on consumer chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, while only 22% use specialized legal software 1. This widespread public access to generative AI has created additional challenges for practitioners; 46% of lawyers reported that clients arrive with inaccurate or misleading information obtained from these bots 1.
In response to these developments, the Federal Court of Australia issued new rules regarding the use of generative AI in April 1. Last year, a Victorian lawyer was struck off for citing false references generated by AI, marking the first nationwide sanction for such misconduct 1.
