AT&T plans OpenAI tools for in-house legal intake
Original title: How AT&T is rethinking in-house legal work with OpenAI
A planned natural-language front door would classify requests, attach precedent, and leave final decisions with lawyers.
AT&T said it is working with OpenAI so its global in-house legal department can reach accumulated expertise more easily. The work builds on LegalEdge, AT&T’s group of attorneys, legal professionals, technologists, and project managers applying AI to major matters. Chief Compliance Officer Bill Ryan described a planned intake system that would classify and prioritize requests and supply precedent, research, past work, and recommended first steps. General Counsel David McAtee said decision-making will remain with the lawyers.
- AT&T’s legal department has hundreds of lawyers and legal professionals worldwide.
- The system would connect new requests with historical context before advice is given.
- Ryan framed the goal as applying legal judgment at greater scale.
- OpenAI published remarks from McAtee and Ryan on the partnership.
