Law Firms Have Malpractice Insurance. Should Their A.I. Agents?
Crosby, an A.I. law firm, bought it for them. The move speaks to a nascent gap in coverage as major insurers grapple with risks related to artificial intelligence.
It’s standard practice for lawyers to have malpractice insurance. Ryan Daniels, the founder of the artificial intelligence law firm Crosby, wanted his A.I. agents to have it, too.
The firm relies on A.I. to do the bulk of its contract review work, with about 60 lawyers overseeing the process. It advertises quick turnaround, as little as an hour to review a nondisclosure agreement, at a flat rate.
Crosby’s professional liability policy covers the work of its lawyers and the A.I. tools they supervise. But Daniels wants A.I. agents to handle some tasks without a human in the loop.
“Our goal, ideally by the end of next year, is full legal work done without lawyers, just agents,” he said.
