Lawyers at big firms are skeptical of AI agents, and executives say it will take time for office workers to use the newest tools well.
Lawyers at large firms are wary of AI agents, and that caution is slowing how fast the tools spread through the workplace. The Information reports that business use of AI is still early, and that skeptical staff are one sign of the growing pains.
An AI agent is software that can carry out tasks on its own, not just answer questions. Anthropic, an AI company, said in its initial public offering filing that business use of AI is in its infancy. Many other corporate executives agree. They say it will take some time for white-collar workers to use the latest tools effectively.
That is especially true for people who are not software engineers. White & Case, a large global law firm, is one example of a cautious workplace.
Anyone who runs a team or works in an office job is touched by this. The tools may be ready to try, but the people using them are still learning what to trust and what to double-check.
The material available does not say what White & Case has decided or tried. It also gives no numbers on how many lawyers are skeptical or how long adoption may take.
If you bring AI agents into your business, plan for a slow start, some doubt from staff, and real time for training.
