AI might be inching toward automating everything from your inbox to your boardroom, but one space still clings to the grip of human nuance: legal deals. DocJuris just dropped a fresh survey, and the message is loud and clear: AI can prep the paperwork, but it’s people who bring the pen to the dotted line.

Today, we’re diving into why enterprises can’t automate away everything just yet, how central banks are stepping into real-time AI fraud monitoring, and the shifting tides in higher ed, finance search, and AI policy regulation.

Let’s roll.

AI Can Draft Your NDA, But It Can’t Close the Deal

Despite the surge in enterprise legal AI tools, a new DocJuris survey shows that 79% of corporate legal teams still believe the final negotiation and approval process must involve humans.

Here’s the kicker:

  • 86% of respondents said AI helps reduce time reviewing contracts.

  • 64% use AI to assist in redlining and flagging risk.

  • But only 12% would let AI lead negotiations or close a deal.

AI is transforming the prep work, but trust and nuance still demand human judgment, especially when it comes to regulatory implications, relationship dynamics, and high-stakes clauses. For legal and compliance teams trying to scale, it’s not about removing people from the process, it’s about reallocating them to where they matter most.

Why enterprises should care:
This is your cue to stop thinking about AI as a full replacement and start investing in it as an accelerator. Scale smarter by using AI for prep, not decision-making, in legally sensitive workflows.

Bottom line: Your legal stack should support the humans, not sideline them.

This Day in Tech History

On June 6, 1944, D-Day, the Allies launched the largest seaborne invasion in history, and with it, an underrated tech revolution. Radar, encrypted radio signals, and top-secret deception campaigns (Operation Fortitude, anyone?) laid the groundwork for modern information warfare.

Fun fact: The Allies used inflatable tanks and fake radio chatter to trick the Nazis. In a way, it was the original deepfake. And it worked.

What to Watch: The Bank of England’s AI Fraud Watchdog

The Bank of England is piloting an AI system to monitor real-time payments and flag potential fraud across the UK’s banking system.

Why it matters:

  • Real-time payments are exploding in volume, and fraudsters love speed.

  • The new system aims to spot suspicious patterns mid-transaction before money moves.

  • It also tests how AI can be integrated securely into the national payment infrastructure.

Enterprise takeaway:
If the BoE’s experiment goes well, expect similar moves from the Fed, ECB, and beyond. For companies processing payments at scale, this could mean more fraud checkpoints, as well as faster fraud detection and fewer chargebacks.

Watch this space, especially if you’re building or integrating payment platforms.
