Bloomberg Law\u2019s new 2026 AI in Practice report examines that question alongside attorneys\u2019 concerns about the technology, its reliability, and its implications for their work.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on responses from more than 1,000 attorneys to Bloomberg Law\u2019s biannual State of Practice survey, the report explores how attorneys use AI tools and whether they trust them for complex tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The survey found that 76% of attorneys are concerned about AI going rogue, while 25% fear their job will be replaced by the technology.<\/p>\n<p>The report also examines the business case for AI, the importance of checking its outputs, and client expectations about its use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs AI becomes part of everyday legal work, attorneys need to understand where it adds value and where it requires closer scrutiny,\u201d said Cesca Antonelli, editor-in-chief, Bloomberg Industry Group. \u201cThese findings give legal employers a basis for assessing their investment in AI and the questions they need to address with their attorneys and clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Together, the findings offer a look at how attorneys are navigating the practical demands of AI adoption, from evaluating its return on investment to maintaining confidence in the work they deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Download Bloomberg Law\u2019s 2026 AI in Practice report at <a href=\"https:\/\/aboutblaw.com\/bnmR\">https:\/\/aboutblaw.com\/bnmR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6af46df930bd1'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-compact bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6af46df931c73'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>About Bloomberg Law<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bloomberg Law\u00a0provides\u00a0the content and technology legal professionals need to act decisively in a rapidly changing world.
