Original: COMMENTARY: How AT&T is using AI to reduce its reliance on law firms
AT&T is deploying artificial intelligence to handle legal work in-house, reducing how much it depends on external law firms. According to a Reuters commentary, the telecoms company is using AI tools to streamline tasks such as document review and contract analysis that would traditionally be billed by outside counsel. The move highlights a broader trend of large corporations trimming legal spend through automation, and raises questions about what the shift means for the legal services industry.
Why now: Companies across sectors are looking to AI to cut costs, and a major telecoms firm reducing reliance on law firms is a high-profile example.
