Adobe enhances Acrobat AI with contract intelligence to streamline enterprise workflows – Computerworld

“AI-powered Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems raise compliance and legal concerns related to data privacy, regulatory adherence, bias, and liability, particularly in regulated industries such as banking, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and legal,” added Kaushal. “These systems process sensitive contractual information, heightening risks under laws like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and SOX, which impose stringent data protection and access control requirements.”

Kaushal also pointed out that AI-generated contract recommendations could introduce legal uncertainties. “AI-generated contract recommendations may also lack legal accountability, leading to disputes if incorrect terms are applied. Additionally, AI models trained on biased or outdated data can introduce contractual inconsistencies and unfair terms, increasing litigation risks. Enterprises, therefore, emphasize transparency and explainability to gauge the effectiveness of AI-generated response.”

Balancing AI efficiency with caution

Adobe’s AI-driven contract intelligence is positioned as a transformative tool for businesses looking to streamline workflows and mitigate legal risks. However, as AI’s role in contract management expands, organizations must balance automation with human oversight to ensure compliance, accuracy, and accountability.
