Standard contracts exist for a variety of reasons, time&#x2F;cost being one of them. Another one I&#x27;d like to highlight is the principal-agent problem[0]. If, due to automation, contracts went up by orders of magnitude in complexity then clients would be exposed to a new set of risks with a legal basis that they do not understand. The question then is: are these new, inscrutable risks acceptable to a client? Perhaps not, unless they are already a very large business.<p>[0]. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Principal%E2%80%93agent_problem" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Principal%E2%80%93agent_proble...</a>
