This whitepaper explores recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to automate the extraction, interpretation and digitization of legal clauses from ISDA’s credit support annexes (CSAs) into standardized, machine-readable code using the Common Domain Model (CDM). Specifically, the paper benchmarks and reviews the ability of generative AI to accurately extract five CSA clauses and digitize them into CDM format. The findings suggest that integrating industry-specific data significantly boosts generative AI accuracy, larger generative AI models typically handle nuanced legal language better, and generative AI can be utilized within a modular framework (eg,agentic AI) to extract legal clauses more accurately and efficiently.
