World’s First “Robot Lawyer” Will Be Defending a Human in Court Next Month
metro.co.uk | January 6, 2022 | Anugraha SundaraveluA ‘robot lawyer’ is all set to defend a speeding ticket on its first day in court next month.
In February, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) developed by DoNotPay will advise a defendant during an entire court case, likely making it the first-ever case defended by an AI.
The AI will run on a smartphone, listening in to the proceedings of the courtroom before instructing the defendant on what to say via an earpiece, as reported by the New Scientist.
The location of the court and the name of the defendant are being kept under wraps at the moment.

Judge: “So you went out for a drive because you were bored in your condo?”
AI: “Tell the judge you’re going to search golf courses for the real killers.”
Defendant: “No AI, he said bored and condo, not Ford Bronco.”
Judge: “On the speeding charge, how do you plead?”
AI: “If you use AI, you’re going to fry.”
Defendant: “Guilty, your honor.”
AI: “Danger, Will Robinson!”
Defendant: “Useless smart alec.”

Maybe its a good thing..program it so it isnt left..isnt right..cant be bought off..program against accepting favours..program it with the laws and if the case is made out, a finding of guilt then…no plea bargaing..witnesses are polygraphed as they testify their data…not necessarily a bad thing.
