Programme to offer selected businesses up to $700k in services to co-develop them

In the future, when an e-mail from a client on the commencement of a legal suit lands in the inbox of law firm Rajah & Tann, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent programmed to process it can automatically forward it to lawyers with the most relevant experience, suggest key legal issues to be addressed and even draft preliminary legal opinions.

This is an example of how Rajah & Tann partner Rajesh Sreenivasan envisions agentic AI systems could supercharge the firm's work, and he hopes the company will be able to tap a newly launched AI accelerator programme to do that.

Agentic AI refers to AI systems designed to autonomously make decisions. They can plan and execute complex tasks to meet predetermined goals. An example of this is autonomous driving vehicles.

On Aug 1, Microsoft announced the launch of its Agentic AI Accelerator programme at an event at its office at Frasers Tower.
