I think this paper is more important for AI than for law. Wolfram correctly considers that we're bad at giving complex instructions to AI and that the way Law does it is very good. Thus, getting inspiration from legal systems to code AI is a great idea - I actually worked a lot on this during my PhD in 2000/2005.
On the contrary, trying to use AI to regulate legal systems is... well actually we already do it a lot! Smart Contracts? Just look at the way an invoice is generated today. Taxes? You really think there is a guy putting the numbers in your tax declaration? Etc.
There will be more AI in Law in the future. But that's about it. It won't change its nature. It will allow Law to evolve more quickly and to become ever more precise - creating more and more rules instead of simplifying it. Contrary to most people, I think that more Law is always better than less. So I guess it's a good thing.
