The United States Supreme Court took 10 months to tell us what everyone already knew about tariffs. That delay is a feature of every institution you depend on, and AI is about to break all of them
If you're an (old) science fiction fan, Frank Herbert posited a legally-sanctioned "Bureau of Sabotage" (BuSab) to deliberately slow an "over-efficient bureaucracy" that implements laws and regulations too fast for normal human processing and acceptance. Looks like reality takes the opposite path :)
Your point about different timescales is well made. Btw, I think we should introduce an energy tax (following the fee and dividend model) to slow down AI.
Law schools don't certify any knowledge - they teach a method, which is why you take a bar review course to pass the bar, which does test knowledge. Whether that method is useful or not in an age of AI is another question. On that question, you might check out some of Richard Epstein's writings on the applicability of Roman law to modern questions - like this one: https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=2390&context=journal_articles - He makes an interesting case that there are principles in law that can handle new situations.
