The artificial intelligence He is capable of amazing things. He is even able to offer legal advice. Next February, a solution of this type will be used for the first time during the development of a trial so that the defendant can defend himself, according to reports ‘New Sciencist‘.
Specifically, the tool, in the form of an application, has been developed by the company DoNotPay, and will advise the defendant during the trial through a mobile phone. The location of the court, the charges and the name of the defendant are unknown.
The application offers advice on a large number of issues. However, during the trial, you will listen to everything that is said in court and will advise the defendant on how to defend himself.
The company behind the mill was created in 2015 by Joshua Browder, a student at Stanford University. In principle, his objective was to help users appeal traffic fines. To do this, the bot asks the user several questions. Once he answers them, the solution automatically generates a letter to make the appeal.
The company has had to make application changes to make it functional during the trial, as explained by Browder to the aforementioned medium. For example, it doesn’t automatically offer advice to the user every time he hears a voice. Instead, it will wait for the prosecution to finish before analyzing the results.
“Many lawyers are charging too much money to copy and paste documents and I think they will definitely be replaced, and should be replaced,” Browder said in statements reported by the British outlet ‘Daily Mail’.
As we have explained, the Do Not Pay tool is capable of doing many things, according to the company. Between them, you can file complaints about faulty products and services, cancel unwanted subscriptions and services, obtain refunds for canceled flights and hotels, or decline unwanted credit applications.
