AT&T's Legal Edge: AI-Assisted Legal Services with OpenAI

This discussion outlines how AT&T is applying AI to legal work through its Legal Edge initiative and collaboration with OpenAI. It explains the motivation, organizational approach, and initial focus on high-priority, high-cost legal matters.

Key topics:
- AT&T's large legal knowledge base and the traditional model of one lawyer per case
- Legal Edge as an AI-supported legal services effort involving lawyers, legal professionals, technologists, and project managers
- Natural-language intake to classify and prioritize matters, then connect them with knowledge layers and historical context
- Retention of lawyer decision-making while using AI to provide better supporting information
- A practitioner's perspective on how legal work may change

The discussion is suited to legal professionals, technologists, and organizational leaders interested in how large enterprises are exploring AI-supported legal workflows. Viewers gain an overview of the initiative's goals and operating model rather than detailed technical or implementation specifications.
