Factor Releases Benchmark Study on GenAI Adoption in Legal Departments
Benchmark data highlights what's holding legal teams back—and what the legal AI leaders are doing differently.
'Legal departments are often forced to make high-stakes technology selections like Venture Capitalists, betting millions on platforms that may become obsolete within months.' — David Mainiero, AI Enablement & Legal Transformation, Factor
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Factor, the market leader in Integrated Law, today released its 'GenAI in Legal Benchmarking Report 2025,' revealing a significant disconnect between AI access and effective utilization in corporate legal departments. The study of more than 120 in-house legal teams provides insights into the current state of GenAI adoption, highlighting both implementation challenges and proven strategies for success.
Key findings include:
Access vs. Utilization Gap: While 61.2% of legal departments provide AI access to most or all team members, 33.7% of legal professionals report they are not confident using enterprise AI tools and need more support.
Pilot Purgatory: 29.6% of legal departments restrict AI access to small pilot groups rather than deploying it widely, significantly constraining potential impact.
Leadership Minority: Only 12.1% of legal teams report 'leading the way' in GenAI adoption, with the majority finding themselves at average (35.4%) or behind the curve (26.3%).
Build vs. Buy Approaches: 47.5% of legal teams have built an internal AI interface/chatbot, while 40.4% have purchased specialized legal-focused AI tools.
David Mainiero, VP, AI Enablement & Legal Transformation at Factor, says: 'Legal departments are often forced to make high-stakes technology selections like Venture Capitalists, betting millions on platforms that may become obsolete within months or even just pivot away from the initial use case.'
The report also reveals that members of Factor's Sense Collective are outpacing the market in AI adoption, with 100% providing broad AI access (vs. 46.2% market average) and 81.8% building internal AI interfaces (vs. 35.8% market average).
The full report, available for download here, includes detailed analysis of current adoption patterns, benchmarking data, and recommended best practices for legal departments navigating the AI transformation journey.

Synthetic Identity Document Fraud Surges 300% in the U.S. - Sumsub Warns E-Commerce, Healthtech and Fintech at Risk
North America sees major spike in synthetic document fraud and deepfake-related attacks, particularly across e-commerce, edtech, and healthtech sectors NEW YORK, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sumsub, a global leader in verification, today released Q1 2025 identity fraud trends based on internal data, revealing a dramatic rise in AI-enabled fraud across the United States. According to platform data, deepfake fraud has surged by 1100%, while synthetic identity document fraud rose by over 300% with attackers exploiting generative AI to create fake passports, IDs, and biometric data. Sumsub analyzed millions of verification checks conducted on its platform between January and March 2025 across industries such as fintech, e-commerce, healthtech, and edtech to uncover emerging fraud trends. One of the most pressing concerns is the rise of synthetic identity document fraud, where criminals use AI tools to generate fake identity documents such as driver's licenses or passports. These synthetic identity documents are often realistic enough to bypass basic KYC checks, posing a significant challenge for businesses. Unlike synthetic identity documents, which involve the creation of entirely fake personas using a mix of real and fabricated data, synthetic identity documents refer specifically to falsified documents or images generated by AI. Fraudsters then use these AI-generated visuals to open accounts, conduct illicit transactions, or bypass compliance processes, making detection increasingly difficult without advanced verification tools North America-Specific Insights (Q1 2025): Synthetic identity document fraud spiked by 311% in North America compared to Q1 2024, making it the region's most alarming growth vector. Deepfake fraud jumped by 1100%, marking a clear signal that generative AI is being used to bypass facial recognition and biometric checks. High fraud activity was recorded in e-commerce, healthtech and edtech––industries have seen accelerated digitization post-pandemic. The U.S. in particular saw a sharp increase in fintech fraud attempts, underscoring the need for real-time, multi-layered fraud prevention solutions. Key Global Findings (Q1 2025): Synthetic identity document fraud is rising across all regions, fueled by widespread access to GenAI tools that can generate highly realistic fake IDs. Top markets for synthetic identity document fraud include: Ethiopia (2.17%) Pakistan (2.08%) Nigeria (1.52%) Other notable markets: Hong Kong (0.99%), Indonesia (0.84%), Turkey (0.80%)Deepfake-related attacks are growing globally, particularly to bypass biometric systems—now one of the fastest-evolving fraud vectors. Healthtech fraud attempts rose by 384%, signaling its emergence as a high-value target alongside fintech and e-commerce. Regional deepfakefraud surges: Canada: 3,400% Hong Kong: 1,900% Singapore: 1,500% Mainland China: 1,183% Germany: 1,100% United Kingdom: 900% United States: 700% "The pace at which fraud tactics are evolving is staggering," said Andrew Sever, CEO of Sumsub. "As generative AI becomes more accessible, so does the ability to generate synthetic identity documents and deepfakes at scale. What we're seeing is a broader trend, in which Fraud-as-a-Service is becoming a reality, where malicious actors can easily access sophisticated tools to carry out attacks. Businesses can no longer rely on outdated verification tools. It's imperative they adopt an intelligent, adaptive approach to stay ahead." To combat this new wave of fraud, Sumsub continues to invest in advanced AI-powered fraud detection, document authenticity analysis, and biometric defense tools to protect businesses and users worldwide. The company urges organizations to stay proactive by integrating multi-layered verification and continuous monitoring into their onboarding and transaction workflows.

Adobe shares fall, investors skeptical of quicker AI-adoption returns
STORY: Shares of Adobe dropped as much as 7% Friday on concerns over when the software company will start seeing a boost to its business from new artificial intelligence features. That overshadowed its higher annual revenue forecast, which sent shares up after it reported results late Thursday. An analyst from CFRA Research said, "(We see) increasing concerns surrounding competitive pressures and a longer time horizon to reach notable AI monetization.' The maker of Photoshop and Premiere Pro video editing software said in April that it would add AI models from OpenAI and Google to its generative AI tool. The tool - called Firefly - allows users to create and edit images and videos for commercial purposes through basic text prompts without facing copyright challenges Analysts from RBC said in a note that 'it feels like it will take more time to prove out these (AI) initiatives and quiet concerns of competition around GenAI.' At least five brokerages cut their price target on Adobe's stock following the second-quarter results. Shares have dropped about 12% so far in 2025.
