In my daily reading routine, I am usually interested in reading information about technology, today in particular I came across an article entitled: Would you let a robot lawyer defend you, the implicit question caught my attention, and I decided to investigate about it, and here I am reporting what I found about this interesting topic.
In previous installments, I have recounted how close we are to reaching new levels within artificial intelligence, and with this robot acting as a lawyer, I believe the context signals that artificial intelligence continues to advance consistently across all sectors.
The article I read commands this question, Could your next lawyer be a robot, and the following emphasizes that, as far-fetched as it sounds, artificial intelligence software systems and computer programs that can update themselves and "think" on their own are increasingly being used in the legal environment.
According to entrepreneur Joshua Browder and owner of the DoNotPay app labeled as the world's first robot lawyer, he explains that people who make use of this app, can type their version of a dispute in their own words, and the software has a machine learning model that squares out the legal way to phrase it.
In Joshua Browder's own words, in his late teens in Hendon, north London, he was a lousy driver," recounting that he received a number of costly parking tickets that, as he was still in high school, he could not afford to pay.
After much research, Browder says he found the best way to challenge these fines, because according to him, "if you know what to say, you can save a lot of time and money, so instead of copying and pasting the same documents over and over again, he says he thought it was "the perfect job for a software", so using artificial intelligence he decided to create the DoNotPay application.
This type of initiative may serve as a more expeditious means to achieve more objective legal defenses, given the millions of cases that are presented in this area on a global scale, which often do not cause objectivity due to human bias.
