Anthropic is working with law firms to develop capable of negotiating deals on behalf of humans, according to sources cited by the Financial Times. The effort includes teaching machines negotiation tactics and strategy. The project highlights a new frontier: what happens when AI agents negotiate with each other rather than with people, and what legal and procedural rules should govern those interactions.
The move signals how AI startups are moving beyond language models into autonomous agents that act independently in the real world. Anthropic's approach—consulting domain experts before deploying—reflects the industry's broader push to build AI systems that can handle complex, high-stakes tasks.
