The world's first “robot lawyer" will help a defendant fight a traffic ticket case in court next month

The world’s first #RobotLawyer will take a case in court next month — with the artificial intelligence (AI) legal assistant helping a defendant fight a traffic ticket.

The AI, billed as “the world’s first robot lawyer” by the startup that created it, DoNotPay, will run on a smartphone and listen to court arguments in real-time before telling the defendant what to say via headphones.

Should they lose the case, DoNoPay has agreed to cover any fines, according to the company’s founder and CEO, Joshua Browder.
