Artificial intelligence (AI) lands in a court of law.
Next February in the United States he will assume the role of "defense lawyer": from a smartphone he will listen to what will happen in the courtroom and then suggest what to say to the accused through earphones.
The case involves a routine hearing, a speeding ticket, but it will still set a precedent.
The artificial intelligence in question, as told by the New Scientist magazine, was developed by DoNotPay.
In the United States, according to data reported by the Cnet website, 80% of low-income Americans do not have access to legal assistance.
And Just DoNotPay has already used AI-generated chatbots in the US to help people get refunds for in-flight Wi-Fi that didn't work, lower their electricity bills and contest fines for unpaid parking.
The firm's chief executive officer, Joshua Browder, told CBS News that the company has relied on AI models to win more than 2 million lawsuits on behalf of individuals against institutions and organizations.
To date, the company has raised $27.7 million from various investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, a major American venture capital firm that has already invested in the technology sector.
It is said that AI can not be used on a large scale and in all courts, since only some allow defendants to wear earphones.
But the ultimate goal, according to the CEO, is to democratize legal representation, making it free for those who can't afford it.
