New report explores the business case for legal AI, trust in complex tasks, and client expectations

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used in legal practice, attention is turning to what it delivers. Bloomberg Law’s new 2026 AI in Practice report examines that question alongside attorneys’ concerns about the technology, its reliability, and its implications for their work.

Drawing on responses from more than 1,000 attorneys to Bloomberg Law’s biannual State of Practice survey, the report explores how attorneys use AI tools and whether they trust them for complex tasks.

The survey found that 76% of attorneys are concerned about AI going rogue, while 25% fear their job will be replaced by the technology.

The report also examines the business case for AI, the importance of checking its outputs, and client expectations about its use.

“As AI becomes part of everyday legal work, attorneys need to understand where it adds value and where it requires closer scrutiny,” said Cesca Antonelli, editor-in-chief, Bloomberg Industry Group. “These findings give legal employers a basis for assessing their investment in AI and the questions they need to address with their attorneys and clients.”

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.

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany and YONGIN, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DQS has completed independent assessments of Samsung Display’s automotive cybersecurity management, resulting in ISO/SAE 21434 certification and an ENX Vehicle Cyber Security (VCS) label. The achievement provides automotive customers with independent evidence of the company’s processes for managing cybersecurity risks within the assessed scope.

The achievement was recognized at a ceremony at Samsung Display’s headquarters in Yongin, Republic of Korea. Ingo M. Rübenach, CEO of DQS Group, and Alex Chi, Global Transportation Division Head and Managing Director of DQS Korea LLC, attended alongside Yoo Kyung-Jin, Corporate Executive Vice President at Samsung Display.

“The transition to software-defined vehicles changes what automotive manufacturers expect from their suppliers. Cybersecurity has to be part of how an organization develops products, takes decisions and responds to new risks. Through these assessments, Samsung Display has demonstrated a structured approach to these responsibilities. I expect Samsung Display’s technological competitiveness, combined with its proven cybersecurity reliability, to meet the demands of global automakers and further strengthen its competitiveness in the next-generation mobility market,” says Ingo M. Rübenach.

Cybersecurity for automotive applications

Samsung Display is expanding its automotive OLED business. According to the company, it has established a cybersecurity management system for automotive products, with dedicated personnel and processes to monitor and address potential risks.

Yoo Kyung-Jin, Corporate Executive Vice President at Samsung Display, says: “In the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), cybersecurity is an important factor underpinning product competitiveness. We will solidify our leadership in the mobility display market by providing OLED products that meet the stringent security standards required by automotive manufacturers and consumers.”

Independent evidence for automotive customers

ISO/SAE 21434 defines engineering requirements for managing cybersecurity risks in the electrical and electronic systems of road vehicles. It addresses the product lifecycle, from development and production through operation, maintenance and decommissioning.

ENX VCS, an assessment scheme developed by the ENX Association, is based on ISO/SAE 21434 and evaluates suppliers’ vehicle cybersecurity management systems. Successful audit results form the basis for an ENX VCS label. Assessment results can be shared with authorized business partners through the ENX Portal, providing a common basis for evaluating suppliers’ cybersecurity management capabilities.

FirstDigital Expands Redundant Fiber Network to More Utah and Arizona Businesses

Published

on

By

DRAPER, Utah, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FirstDigital is connecting more businesses across Utah and Arizona to its fiber network, helping to build greater redundancy into their networks while supporting Wide Area Network (WAN) modernization for increasingly connected operations.

“Connectivity isn’t just an IT concern anymore,” says Alex Jackson, Chief Operating Officer at FirstDigital. “When the network goes down, phones stop ringing, payments stop processing, and employees stop working.”

A redundant fiber network is designed to reduce reliance on a single connection by providing an alternate route if that connection is disrupted. Depending on an organization’s needs and available infrastructure, FirstDigital builds this redundancy into its network with multiple routes to geographically diverse points of presence, so the failure of a single path or device doesn’t take its customers, or its customers’ customers, offline.

Organizations from auto care to banking now rely on FirstDigital to keep their systems running without interruption, with one VP of IT saying the partnership has given him the confidence to vacation beyond cell coverage without worrying if his company’s network is online.

“Our customers are treating resiliency as an operational decision, and we’re building our network to support that,” says Jackson.
