Earlier this year, I wrote here on LinkedIn about the power of agentic AI, predicting that in 2025 the workplace would need to adjust to a whole new kind of worker: Generation AI Agent, as agentic AI continues to transform industries.

When PUMA Group released an advertisement created entirely by AI agents.

This rapid transformation is being fueled by VC-backed innovation, and in the latest edition of my newsletter, Venture Legal: Where Capital Meets Legal Innovation, I take a closer look at a major milestone: ServiceNow’s nearly $3 billion acquisition of the agentic AI company Moveworks.

In the featured story, I explore:

  • The background of the Moveworks and ServiceNow deal, and why it made more sense for ServiceNow to buy rather than build agentic AI technology
  • The growing enthusiasm for agentic AI and mergers and acquisitions in the technology sector
  • How VC-backed agentic AI is beginning to influence LegalTech and RegTech
  • The role of agentic AI in compliance risk management
  • How these innovations are strengthening regulatory compliance for corporations
