Agentic AI in law: Navigating the evolution of artificial intelligence

By Tara Sarvnaz Raissi ( August 6, 2025, 3:03 PM EDT) -- AI agents are driving the next stage in the evolution of artificial intelligence. Agentic AI is a large language model (LLM) that interacts with external systems such as web browsers, databases, emails and calendars, commonly referred to as “tools.” AI agents use tools to execute tasks to pursue user-defined goals. These systems can make decisions and take autonomous actions (see Díaz, Santiago (Sal), Christoph Kern, and Kara Olive. “Google’s Approach for Secure AI Agents: An Introduction.” Google Research, May 2025).
