Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the billionaire founder of Binance, has reignited the debate over the intersection of artificial intelligence and legal reform with a bold proposal: using AI to simplify national laws into clear, understandable language.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Zhao criticized legal systems as “gigantic, patched, added, and often intentionally made complex.”

“AI/LLMs are great at text processing. And laws should be simple and easy to understand, by a normal person,” Zhao added.

Zhao also emphasized that his post did not mean to disparage lawyers; instead, he argued that their expertise could be better used in innovation rather than untangling legalese.

Zhao‘s argument comes amid global efforts to regulate AI, such as the European Union’s AI Act and ongoing U.S. legislative debates. Yet, his suggestion flips the script, taking the conversation beyond whether AI can be regulated to talking about how the technology could help rewrite and streamline laws themselves.

Legal-tech advocates, including Wolters Kluwer, have already embraced generative AI to simplify legal research. In its “Straight Talk” series, the firm‘s leaders argue that lawyers who leverage AI effectively can outpace those who don’t.

The U.S. tax code runs over 6,800 pages. At the same time, regulations like the EUs General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have been repeatedly criticized for its opacity, even by the companies attempting to comply with them.

AI-based platforms like Harvey.ai, used by major firms, and tools from Wolters Kluwers VitalLaw AI now assist in summarizing decisions and streamlining contract reviews.

Stanfords Human-AI collaboration lab found AI-generated legal briefs often rivaled human-written originals, although it cautioned about the occasional hallucinations that have embarrassed lawyers and drawn strong criticism from court officers.

Legal professionals agree that AI is part of their future

AI may shift law firm workloads from billable grunt work to strategic tasks, but legal practitioners must pair speed with judgment.A 2023 Wolters Kluwers “Straight Talk” survey notes that 73% of legal professionals expect to integrate generative AI into their work within a year.

No, there are unlimited amounts of work.

There could be a 1000 companies building spaceships vs only a couple now. We can test more drugs to cure cancer. Flying cars… All of them need tremendous amounts of legal work.
