A ‘Robot Lawyer’ Will Argue Its First Court Case Next Month

What could possibly go wrong? The website DoNotPay.com has tools to help people fight parking tickets, or get banks to reverse things like overdraft fees. They say they now have an A.I. program that can listen in on court cases and come up with “legal strategies” in real time. They’re using it to help someone fight a speeding ticket next month somewhere in the U.S., but they haven’t revealed where. The person fighting the ticket will have AirPods in while the robot lawyer listens in through their cell phone and tells them what to say. The CEO of DoNotPay says the judge will “definitely NOT” know it’s going on.
