The "first-ever robot lawyer" will represent a client in court the following month. According to reports, a defendant will use the legal assistant powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to contest a traffic ticket. Here's what all we know.
The "DoNotPay" firm developed the AI robot. It will function as a smartphone app and stream all court proceedings in real-time.The robot will instruct the defendant on what to say using headphones, much like a human attorney would do in real life.?
Joshua Browder established the chatbot for legal services known as DoNotPay in 2015.?It was introduced as a chatbot to give users who were facing late fees or fines legal guidance. The AI helper needed a lot of time to be trained on the case, according to Browder.?
February is the scheduled month for the hearing. The actual date, the venue of the court, and the name of the defendant are still being kept a secret by the robot's creators.
The defendant in the case, who will only respond to commands from the AI robot, is being sued for receiving a speeding ticket.According to the science and technology magazine New Scientist, the AI robot will process and analyse the evidence presented in court and then advise the defendant on how to respond.?
According to Joshua Browder, DoNoPay has agreed to pay any fines if they lose the case.The business's mission is to help people "battle corporations, beat bureaucracy, and sue anyone at the touch of a button."
"DoNotPay utilizes artificial intelligence to help consumers fight against large corporations and solve their problems like beating parking tickets, appealing bank fees, and suing robocallers," reads the company's mission.
