AI Robot Gives Free Legal AdvicesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #science7 years ago

Justice ain’t cheap. This might change right now.

A free lawyer robot has expanded its field of expertise and can now offer advice in 1,000 legal areas.

DoNotPay was originally created two years ago using IBM's "Watson" AI technology.

The chatbot developed being capable of offering advice to motorists who wanted to dispute parking tickets. The bot expanded to tackle other small legal disputes, such as flight delays and landlord disputes. The technology even provides legal advice to refugees completing immigration applications and applying for asylum.

The bot has since helped over 16,000 people successfully dispute their parking tickets across London and New York over a period of less than two years. That’s over $4 million worth of fines.

Lately, the AI bot reached another milestone. The new features will cover consumer and workplace rights across 50 US states and the UK.

The system works easily. You simply start by typing in your problem and the bot will then reply with a set of simple and detailed solutions to the problem, such as “send a warning”, “notify authorities”, and “dispute eviction notice”.

So, the first robot lawyer is right in place. Seems to be a matter of time when there will be the world’s first robot law firm.

I would hardly trust such questions to AI. Nowadays it’s easier to find paralegal services for tasks that you don’t want to delve into too much. By delegating tasks to paralegals, attorneys can focus on more complex legal issues and client interactions. This delegation can lead to better time management within a law firm and allow lawyers to handle a larger volume of cases or dedicate more time to strategy and litigation.
