ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In this conversation, Richard Tromans and Jake Jones of Flank discuss the concept of agentic AI, emphasizing its ability to autonomously make decisions and take actions in the real world.
They explore the misconceptions surrounding agentic AI, particularly in the legal field, where many tools are misclassified as agentic despite lacking true autonomous decision-making capabilities. The discussion also touches on the importance of human oversight and the need for a new paradigm in legal technology that leverages both legal expertise and innovative approaches.
