AT&T Expands Use of Generative AI

AT&T said Thursday it’s expanding its use of generative AI, which it announced in June (see 2306200020), with more than 30,000 AT&T employees now having early access to Ask AT&T. “It’s an intuitive, conversational platform that you can interact with in plain English (or just about any other language),” blogged Andy Markus, AT&T chief data officer. “While our initial use case was for software developers to use it to write and refine code, we’re seeing opportunities across every part of our business,” Markus said: “Whether it’s in network engineering or finance, software development or supply chain, or any other part of our business, we’re pushing hard to put this tool in the hands of as many AT&T employees as possible.”
