Artificial intelligence will act as a lawyer in a trial for the first time
AI legal assistant DoNotPay helped people fight parking tickets. Now, for the first time, this technology will be tested in a real courtroom. Through an earpiece, artificial intelligence will coach a defendant in a courtroom on what to say to avoid fines and the consequences of a speeding charge, DoNotPay said.
Where and when?
An in-person hearing on the speeding charge is scheduled for February in a U.S. courtroom, according to DoNotPay founder and CEO Joshua Browder. However, Browder and company did not provide any additional details of the case.
To get around the restrictions on phone use, Browder explained that the company is relying on the accessibility standards of hearings in that particular court, which offer a loophole to allow the use of Apple AirPods. Asked whether the court would be aware of AI assistance during the hearing, Browder replied: “Definitely not.”
