AT&T如何反思与OpenAI的内部法律工作
AT&T正在LegalEdge的基础上探索支持其法律团队的新方法。
AT&T的内部法律部门在世界各地拥有数百名律师和法律专业人员。 在他们能够向企业提供咨询之前，他们需要收集事实、文件和过去的相关工作，常常利用不同团队的专门知识。 对AT&T的高级执行副总裁兼总法律顾问David McAtee来说，使这种经验更容易获得是该部如何改进工作的关键。
AT&T正与OpenAI合作，以构建下一阶段。 “我们与OpenAI的伙伴关系将使我们能够建造这种管道，使整个公司的知识层充满力量，我们大家将利用这种管道。”
合作的基础是LegeEdge、AT&T的律师、法律专业人员、技术员和项目经理团队，他们侧重于将AI应用于重大法律事务。 下一步是将公司积累的更多专门知识与律师桌上的工作联系起来。
请求来自各行各业，法律小组需要迅速作出反应，而不忽略风险。 在他们能够提出建议之前，他们必须了解问题，收集相关背景，并首先决定需要注意什么。 这使得摄入成为保护企业的关键部分。 AT&T的首席合规官比尔·瑞恩(Bill Ryan)将一项计划中的举措描述为“我们拥有自然语言摄入的大门 ”。 该系统将对请求进行分类和排序，将其与相关先例、研究和过去的工作联系起来，并提供负责任的法律专业历史背景，并建议第一步。
这将使律师有一个更知情的起点，减少收集评估某一事项所需材料的时间。 Ryan认为有机会帮助部门将判断力更多地用于企业的需求。
称先生说，“我对未来最兴奋的是扩大我们提供更大规模法律判决的能力。
对于McAtee来说，指导工作的原则仍然是明确的：“决策将始终由律师作出。” 伙伴关系的目标是提供更好的信息，以便这些律师能够花更多的时间运用其专门知识。

How AT&T is rethinking in-house legal work with OpenAI
AT&T is building on LegalEdge to explore new ways to support its legal team.
AT&T’s in-house legal department has hundreds of lawyers and legal professionals around the world. Before they can advise the business, they need to assemble facts, documents, and relevant past work, often drawing on expertise held across different teams. For David McAtee, AT&T’s Senior Executive Vice President and General Counsel, making that experience easier to access is central to how the department’s work can improve.
AT&T is working with OpenAI to build that next phase. “Our partnership with OpenAI is going to allow us to build that plumbing that powers the knowledge layer throughout the company and that all of us will draw into,” McAtee says.
The collaboration builds on LegalEdge, AT&T’s team of attorneys, legal professionals, technologists, and project managers focused on applying AI to major legal matters. The next step is to connect more of the company’s accumulated expertise to the work arriving on a lawyer’s desk.
Requests arrive from across the business, and legal teams need to respond quickly without overlooking risks. Before they can advise, they have to understand the issue, gather the relevant context and decide what needs attention first. That makes intake a critical part of protecting the business. Bill Ryan, AT&T’s Chief Compliance Officer, describes one planned initiative as an intake system with “a front door where we have natural language intake.” The system would classify and prioritize requests, connect them with relevant precedent, research, and past work, and give the responsible legal professional historical context and recommended first steps.
That would give lawyers a more informed starting point, with less time spent gathering the material they need to assess a matter. Ryan sees the opportunity in helping the department bring its judgment to more of the business’s needs.
“What most excites me about the future is expanding our ability to provide legal judgment at greater scale,” he says.
For McAtee, the principle guiding that work remains clear: “The decision making will always remain with the lawyers.” The partnership’s goal is to put better information within reach so those lawyers can spend more time applying their expertise.
