It's possible that artificial intelligence can help you get out of a speeding ticket in court, for example.
An artificial intelligence-based legal assistant created by San Francisco-based startup DoNotPay is about to help a person in court for the first time.
The company is keeping the location and name of the defendants secret for privacy reasons.
During the case, the legal assistant will use an earpiece to give instructions. DoNotPay will cover any fines if it fails.
According to New Scientist, this kind of use of technology is illegal in most countries, but the company found a location where it could skirt around these rules.
DoNotPay can also help in court. It is being used to argue with customer service staff.
Joshua Browder, founder of DoNotPay, was able to get a refund for a wire transfer fee from Wells Fargo in a video he shared on social media.
He wrote in the caption that DoNotPay created an artificial intelligence clone of his voice. We were able to overturn some wire fees with the help of GPT.
He said it was the perfect use case for artificial intelligence. No one has time to argue on the phone.
Helping a person in court is not the same as assisting someone else. A courtroom environment will pose a challenge due to the fact that modern language models struggle to tell truth from fiction
"We're trying to reduce our legal liability," he said. It's not good if it twists facts and is too manipulated.
It could be cheaper to fight a speeding ticket if more lawyers were replaced.
"It's all about language, and that's what lawyers charge hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour to do," he told the publication.
Some people aren't sure that will happen soon.
Neil Brown at decoded.legal told New Scientist that they are far off being able to do these things reliably. We have to be very careful.
An artificial intelligence legal assistant will fight a speeding case.
There are jobs that can be applied to in a fresh horror.
