Have we not learned anything from Terminator about the dangers of advanced Artificial Intelligence?
Apparently not, because next month, a robot lawyer is set to begin arguing its first case helping someone fight a speeding ticket.
The website DoNotPay.com says they've developed an A.I. program that can listen in on court cases and come up with strategies in real time.
The in-person speeding ticket hearing is scheduled to take place in a U.S. courtroom sometime in February, DoNotPay's founder and CEO Joshua Browder told Gizmodo, though it has not specified specifically where, due to its illegality.
Most courtrooms don't allow electronic devices that connect to the internet, so DoNotPay.com picked one that allows for Apple AirPods to be used as hearing aids. The person fighting the ticket will have AirPods in while the robot lawyer listens in through their cell phone and tells them what to say. Browder says the judge will "definitely NOT" know it's going on.
Browder also says they're also planning to use the robot lawyer in another speeding ticket case soon that's happening over Zoom.
