When AI Agents Negotiate With Each Other
Bernadette Bulacan on the rise of agent-to-agent contracting, the guardrails it needs, and where human lawyers fit in.
Listen on:
Bernadette Bulacan is Chief Evangelist at Icertis and has spent more than 20 years working at the intersection of law and technology. Through her work with some of the world’s largest businesses such as HP and BAE Systems, she sees how legal teams are changing the way they negotiate, manage and learn from contracts.
In our conversation, we get into:
Why AI represents a bigger shift for legal work than previous generations of technology
Where contracting actually slows down, and why legal isn’t always the bottleneck
What AI agents need before they can negotiate contracts autonomously
What human-centred contracting looks like, and where legal engineers fit in
Whether AI will give lawyers time back or leave them busier than ever
What junior lawyers should learn now, and how to use AI without surrendering their judgment
