I feel like I post a lot hear about AIs, but I'm quite interested in the development of artificial intelligence.

It was recently announced that we might be seeing AI's aiding in legal help now. You can hire an AI without even walking into a law firm to talk to someone.

The only issue is - are they just as good as a regular lawyer? Would you prefer someone with their own discretion?

Joshua Browder, a Standford University student, is the one that came up with the idea of AI legal help. He had several parking tickets and he kept having to write appeals. Browder is also a programmer, so he thought there had to be an easier way to apply for appeals without having to show up to each one.

From the article:

AI-powered chatbots, including DoNotPay, use machine learning algorithms, which can mimic the conversational back-and-forth of a human. The bots are fed relevant data that they draw patterns from. Then, they get positive affirmation for correct decisions to inform future interactions. So, when an algorithm-powered bot is conversing with you, it’s drawing on thousands, or likely millions, of similar exchanges to guide its decisions.

DoNotPay launched in 2018 and is dubbed “the world’s first robot lawyer,” according to its App Store description. “Sue anyone at the press of a button,” it proclaims.

Apparently, there is a lot more to the app than appeals. You can read the full article here:

One of the best qualities I look lawyers though is emotional trust. How can I trust a machine?

Sounds innovative. Ever wondered what kind of jobs lose to AI?

Desk Bound
Less creative thinking
Negligible human touch
Procedure driven
Right?

What exactly a lawyer does?

Yes, lawyers are procedure driven. They go by what law paradigms say. But, often the work involves creative thinking as well.

Someone has sued you. How will you save yourself? By establishing right evidence. Right?

How difficult will it be for the machine to prove your innocence by showing the authentic evidence?

Criminal lawyers generally think out of the box and can confuse the accused (and often the judge for that matter) via certain arguments. Can AI do that?

It is easy to replace a civil lawyer via AI but criminal lawyers are one level ahead.

A robot does what it is programmed to do. But, humans think differently. While AI can be developed to overcome those loopholes and can be made to solve even high level criminal cases but that is too much capital intensive investment and not all may be capable to think of that programming.

Remember, in the war between humans and machines, humans generally have the privilege to capture the machine and reprogramme it.

They can only be assistant but never lawyer. It is to complicated.

I think it's important to note that these AI's probably wouldn't do complicated cases. His first example was the programming aspect of an appeal, so that he didn't have to go in every single time.

AI's are well developed but I don't think developed enough to become a full blown lawyer.
