Post Human Law

AI is no longer just assisting us at work... It is now sitting beside us at work. In the second episode of our AI Agents in the workplace podcast series, Stirling & Rose Partner Schellie-Jayne Price GAICD and Kingston Reid Partner Michael Stutley explore what happens as AI agents begin to operate more like colleagues than tools, and what that means for how work is structured, supervised and governed. As AI agents become embedded in day-to-day operations, organisations are confronting a more complex question. Not whether to adopt AI, but how to manage systems that act quickly and pursue objectives literally, without the benefit of human judgment or values.

On this episode of Post Human Law our Stirling and Rose partners James Myint and SJ Price break down the Responsible Machine Problem, exploring how AI agents differ from traditional legal agents and the implications that follow. James Myint is a founder and partner at Stirling and Rose. James advises major companies, funds, investors, financial institutions and blockchain platforms, specialising in Smart Legal Contracts, CBDCs, DeFi, digital investments and novel financings.
