The Future of Law: AI-Powered Justice? | Robert Mahari | TEDxBoston
A first-of-its-kind AI-powered lawyer is helping a defendant fight a traffic ticket in court next month. The software runs on a smartphone, listens to the court’s arguments and comes up with answers for the defendant. The AI lawyer tells the defendant what to say through a headset. It’s part of a growing wave of AI-powered legal software.
“AI has the potential to improve the legal profession and legal services if it is made lawful and fully public,” attorney Omar Ochoa told Lifewire in an email interview. “There are routine legal procedures and standard responses in most given legal situations, and using AI in these routine scenarios would make the legal profession more efficient, which is good for the legal system and the clients.”
DoNotPay, the company behind the AI lawyer, announced that the bot will soon appear in court.
