A "robot lawyer" will defend a person in court for the first time ever.

Listen to the article:

Most people have always had to pay a lot of money to have a lawyer represent them in court. But what if there was a robot lawyer that was powered by AI and could help anyone?
It sounds strange, but next month it will actually happen in the United States.
During a court case in February, an artificial intelligence (AI) made by the company DoNotPay will give advice to a defendant. This is likely the first time an AI has ever represented a party in court.

New Scientist says that the AI will run on a smartphone and listen to what is going on in court before telling the defendant what to say through an earpiece.

But DoNotPay, the company that made the AI, won’t say where the court is or what the name of the defendant is.

In California in 2015, a computer scientist from Stanford University named Joshua Browder started a company called DoNotPay. He wants his app to completely take the place of lawyers so that defendants can save money.

Here it is! The first ever Comcast bill negotiated 100% with A.I and LLMs.

The business says that “The world’s first robot lawyer lives in the DoNotPay app. Fight corporations, beat the government, and file a lawsuit against anyone with the click of a button.”

Joshua Browder, the company’s founder and CEO, says it took a lot of work to teach DoNotPay’s AI assistant about case law on a wide range of topics and make sure the app tells the truth.

He said, “We’re trying to limit our legal liability, and it’s not good if it twists facts and is too deceptive.”
