You Won't Believe Or A Robot Lawyer Enters The Courts

Artificial intelligence has become invading the world today in all fields, even legal ones, and the media is talking about the first robot to enter the world of courts:

The "world's first robot lawyer" will file a complaint in court next month as an artificial intelligence (AI) paralegal defends a defendant in a traffic violation case.

The AI, described by startup DoNotPay as "the world's first robot lawyer", will run on a smartphone and listen to the court's arguments in real time before telling the defendant what to say via headphones.

 What if the robot loses the case?

The first high-profile hearing is scheduled to take place next month, but the robot's inventors have not yet announced the location of the court or the case it will work on.

The New Scientist reported that the ticket at the center of the groundbreaking case was issued for speeding, and the defendant in court will only say what the AI tells him to say.

If the case is lost, DoNoPay has agreed to cover the fines, according to company founder and CEO Joshua Browder. 

  Launch DoNotPay

Browder, a Stanford-trained computer scientist, launched DoNotPay in 2015 as a chatbot offering legal advice to consumers facing late fees or fines, but the company turned to AI in 2020.

Browder said DoNotPay's AI assistant training was long and first-of-its-kind and is expected to cover a wide range of topics to ensure the bot adheres to the truth, according to the New York Post.

"We try to keep our legal liability to a minimum," Browder added.

In a promotional video, he explains that he started his business "accidentally" after moving to the US from his native UK to attend Stanford.

At school, he began racking up parking tickets that he was unable to pay.

So, Browder said, he became an "expert" on legal loopholes that could be an opportunity to get away with paying fines..

As a software engineer, Browder said he realized the tedious process of writing legal letters to challenge parking tickets could be automated, and he did so by creating a website where people could challenge their parking tickets.

  Threat to the legal profession?

The AI application software has been tweaked so it doesn't automatically react to anything it hears in court.Instead, he will listen and analyze the arguments before telling the defendant how to respond.

Browder said his ultimate goal is to have his app replace some attorneys entirely to save defendants money.

And between: "It's a matter of language, and that's what lawyers charge millions or thousands of dollars an hour."

"There are many honest lawyers who can work and plead before the European Court of Human Rights, but on the other hand, there are many lawyers who charge a lot of money for copying and pasting documents, and I think they will definitely be changed, and they should be replaced soon. .”

The latest technology in artificial intelligence

There are many different areas of artificial intelligence (AI) that are currently being researched and developed, so it's difficult to say exactly what the "latest" technology is. Some of the most popular and rapidly advancing areas of AI include:

• Machine learning: a type of AI that allows computer systems to learn and improve from data without being explicitly programmed.
• Deep learning: a subfield of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers to analyze and make predictions from data.
• Computer vision: the ability of computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world, such as images and videos.
• Natural language processing: the ability of computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
• Generative models: AI models that can generate new examples of data, such as images, text, and audio.
• Reinforcement learning: a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with its environment and receiving feedback in form of rewards.
• Robotics and autonomous systems: the application of AI to physical systems, such as robots and drones, to enable them to perform tasks autonomously.
• Explainable AI (XAI): the use of AI models that can provide understandable explanations of their decision-making process.

Keep in mind that AI technology is constantly evolving and new developments are being made all the time, so this is not an exhaustive list.
