In an event held at the Legálitas headquarters in Madrid, leaders from the tech sector gathered to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the legal field. The roundtable, titled “The Legal Sector Facing the Challenge of Intelligent Agents,” was moderated by Juanjo Vázquez, Technology Director at Legálitas, and featured prominent panelists such as Israel Olalla, Cloud Customer Engineer Manager at Google; Jose Luis Zimmerman, Head of Public Policy at Meta; and Antonio Serrano, a lawyer and professor at the Rey Juan Carlos University, specializing in artificial intelligence.
During the debate, the evolution of intelligent agents and their ability to transform the traditional role of lawyers was addressed. Vázquez emphasized that generative artificial intelligence is redefining the business landscape, highlighting that “intelligent agents are increasingly in vogue as units of work.” Olalla noted that these agents provide lawyers with a “superpower” that can enhance their productivity, although he stressed that they are not meant to completely replace legal professionals.
Zimmerman reinforced this idea by stating that the role of lawyers will not disappear, but rather transform thanks to technology, enabling citizens to more easily access solutions to their legal concerns. Serrano added that artificial intelligence presents a particularly valuable opportunity in managing legal texts, which could lead to greater efficiency within the legal field.
Regarding the transformation of law firms towards a more digital model, Olalla mentioned that digitization facilitates these changes, while Serrano warned about the necessity for lawyers to adapt to new digital tools to avoid falling behind in the sector.
The regulation of artificial intelligence emerged as another point of interest during the discussion. Zimmerman expressed concern about how European regulations are addressing the issue, suggesting that the current approach prioritizes restrictions over a more suitable risk assessment.
Participants also shared their visions for the future. Olalla mentioned the development of robots capable of performing tasks autonomously, while Zimmerman introduced the innovative idea of Meta glasses that could replace mobile devices. Serrano, for his part, expressed optimism about the potential of quantum computing and its influence on law and cybersecurity.
Legálitas reaffirms its commitment to digitization and the incorporation of technologies in the legal field, promoting the analysis and implementation of artificial intelligence as a fundamental tool for the evolution of this sector.
