Artificial Intelligence has arrived in digital signatures

In recent years, digital security has become a critical priority for businesses and individuals, regardless of the industry. In a forecast, by the end of this year, investment in this area is expected to increase to $10.5 trillion, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. With the advancement of technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come to play a key role in the evolution of protection strategies and also to assist in the daily performance of professionals, including reading and responding to questions on various contents. 

AI summarizes content and answers users’ questions 

After practical and theoretical tests, Digital Helper + Sign Well integrated AI into its solution. “During the signature of any document, it is possible to request ‘AI Help,’ selecting options to interact. Among them, we have: summary, type of document, involved parties, values and payments, termination clauses, faulty items, among other options, as well as the possibility of asking various questions,” commented Carlos H. Mencaci, CEO of Digital Helper + Sign Well. 

In general, this is the path to the future. “To further protect our signatories, we have a legal disclaimer explaining how and where AI will operate in the content,” he adds. This adds another layer of reliability and allows for significant time optimization. 

This automation promotes operational efficiency, as well as increases the yield of those reading the treatise. Practically, this allows the user to focus on more complex and strategic tasks, facilitating reaching the final signature with the terms agreed upon. According to a McKinsey & Company survey, it is possible to reduce operational costs by up to 30% and expand efficiency by up to 50% by robotizing these processes. 

Furthermore, a study by Gartner, published in 2024, revealed how organizations with AI-based solutions were able to reduce incident response time by up to 80% compared to traditional methods. Similarly, this technology speeds up day-to-day operations, such as reading a document. 

Artificial Intelligence makes a difference in everyday life

However, even though protected, it is certain how the rapid evolution of cyber threats is a constant concern. According to a 2024 IBM report, 95% of data breaches are caused by human errors and malicious attacks. These impressive numbers reflect the sophistication and increasing volume, including ransomware, phishing, and advanced malware. 

Faced with this scenario, it is evident how traditional security methods, such as firewalls and conventional antivirus, are no longer sufficient to face the level of complexity of modern attacks. Therefore, relying on AI is a successful strategy, including for the overall security of the business.
