The article reports that DocuSign is rolling out new AI-powered features designed to make contracts easier to understand and faster to prepare and sign. The updated tools let people request a plain-English summary of key terms in agreements like leases or purchase contracts and ask questions about specific clauses, helping them grasp what they’re signing without digging through legal jargon. DocuSign says its Iris AI system has been trained on contract data to reduce errors and avoid “hallucinations,” though it emphasizes that the AI isn’t a substitute for professional legal advice. The company also highlighted that many people currently struggle with understanding legal documents, and this AI aims to boost confidence and efficiency in the agreement process.
