First Robot Lawyer to Defend a Person in Court
In the News
When i first read this i envisaged a robot in the courtroom defending a client
It is actually an A1 or artificial intelligence from a company called DoNotPay speaking into the earpiece of a defendant advising them what to say in court , or DIY defence in other words with assistance
So for the first time in history, an AI bot will reportedly defend a human in court
I actually think it is a very good idea, the amount that a lawyer charges in court cases is astronomical , and if this was adopted into the legal system it could save taxpayers millions
I still would have loved to see a robot in court though, but maybe this will happen in the near future
But it would need to pass its' bar exams first
Maybe all it would ask for in payment would be a good oiling and recharge
They did have a robot in parliament in 2018 , as shown below
This could also be a great improvement to existing members of the house

A huge amount of court time is un-necessary and caused by poor laws and legislation. If we restricted how much unsecured credit people could have we wouldn't have so many debt proceedings and many simple proceedings don't need such highly paid people.
BonzoBanana Thats true B, maybe robots are the future, they dont need to be paid thousands per case
So the robot whispers in yer ear and you then take the stand yourself? That's not easy ,although I believe Ted Bundy the serial killer did it rather competently. Pride being his own downfall .It is difficult to plead Non Compos Mentis when you are excelling as a law rep.
MelissaLee1 You would have to be super confident to defend yourself M, even with a robots help
telmel It might appeal to a zappy youngster learning law and up on a speeding charge perhaps.
I won't work properly. When ever I use British Gas customer service it begins with an A1 robot before transferring me to a human voice.
It does appear that many haven't noticed that this doesn't apply to courts in the UK, it contravenes far too many laws and regulations. The article didn't really mention it wasn't in the UK but the mention of Stanford University and DOLLARS might have given some an inkling it was to be tried in the USA. For those not too good at reading the large picture of a block and gavel was a give away. That is an American thing, judges or magistrates this side of the pond don't use a gavel (and to the best of my knowledge never have done - except perhaps in B movies).
MelissaLee1 I remember that in the film i robot M with Will Smith, but they did get a bit out of hand near the end lol
