The American law firm "Edelson" has filed a lawsuit against the chatbot "DoNotPay" in California, claiming that the services provided by the robot are illegal as it does not possess a license to practice law or a certificate, according to the British newspaper "Daily Mail." The law firm cited several clients of the robot, who said that the information, services, and suggestions provided to them were not up to standard, and some advice resulted in adverse outcomes. For his part, the CEO of the company that developed the robot, Joshua Browder, commented that all these allegations are untrue and that the lawyer can attend hearings and provide useful legal consultations.
How does the robot lawyer work?
- The robot lawyer operates using artificial intelligence technology, listening to the court's claims and informing the defendant what to say through headphones.
- The robot has been trained on numerous legal files covering various topics.
- Experts who supplied the robot with information were diligent in adhering to laws and minimizing loopholes.
- The AI application was modified so that the robot does not automatically interact with everything it hears in court.
- The robot will listen to and analyze the arguments presented before directing instructions to the defendant on how to respond.
- According to its developers, the aim of this robot is to replace lawyers to save money for defendants in legal cases.
