An app-based legal aid firm in the United States, DoNotPay, will pay “any attorney or person” $1 million if they agree to participate in an upcoming case before the United States Supreme Court by wearing headphones and repeating exactly the arguments dictated by an artificial intelligence (AI).
The hypothetical lawyer who accepts the proposal must repeat the arguments of the machine. A microphone would be installed in the courtroom so that the AI can follow the progress of the trial at all times, which, in this case, has to do with penalties for speeding.
An app-based legal advisory firm wants to show its effectiveness before the US Supreme Court.
DoNotPay is primarily intended for fines and other small legal disputes (do not pay means “do not pay” in English), but its argument is that users do not need to pay expensive lawyers’ fees for matters that can be resolved through intelligence artificial.
DoNotPay CEO Joshua Browder said he wants to test the technology in the highest court, because although they will have several cases in municipal courts during the month, “haters will say ‘traffic court is too simple to GPT’”. “We are making this serious offer,” he added, “conditional on reaching a formal agreement and meeting all the rules.”
DoNotPay has 250,000 customers who pay an annual subscription of $144. Browder founded the company in 2015 after transferring to Stanford University and racking up numerous parking tickets.
