What is agentic artificial intelligence? According to IBM, it refers to “AI systems that are designed to autonomously make decisions and act, with the ability to pursue complex goals with limited supervision.” That definitely sounds like it could be really exciting. Or really scary. Or maybe both.
For lawyers, AI agents could completely change the way that they do their jobs, handling things such as legal research, document creation and managing workflows with little human supervision. But if we’ve learned anything since the dawn of the generative AI revolution, the potential benefits of agentic AI come with risks and possible consequences, as well.
In this episode of the Legal Rebels Podcast, Tom Martin, the founder and CEO of LawDroid, an automation company that creates chatbots for lawyers and law firms, talks to the ABA Journal’s Victor Li. They discuss agentic AI, what it is and what we can expect from it now and in the not-so-distant future.
