A robot who would make history as the first AI-powered lawyer to appear in court is accused of working without a law degree, reports Al Rai.

The American law firm, Edelson, filed a lawsuit against the chatbot, DoNotPay, in California, saying that the service provided by the robot is illegal, as it does not have a license to practice the profession or a certificate.

The law firm cited a number of robot clients who said that the information, services and suggestions it provided to them were not at the required level, and some of the advice led to counterproductive results.

For his part, the CEO of the company that developed the robot, Joshua Browder, commented that all of these allegations are not true, and that the lawyer is able to attend the sessions and provide useful legal advice.

The robot lawyer works with artificial intelligence techniques, as he listens to the court’s claim, and tells the defendant what to say through headphones.

The robot was trained on many judicial files that included a variety of topics. The experts who provided the robot with the information were also keen to abide by the laws and reduce circumvention to the least amount.

An AI application program has been modified so that the robot does not automatically react to everything it hears in court.

The bot will listen to and analyze the arguments presented before instructing the defendant how to respond. The aim of this robot, according to its developers, is to replace lawyers so that the money of the accused in cases is saved.
