World's first 'robot lawyer' overturns 160,000 parking tickets in London and New York The free chatbot has saved users an estimated £2.9 million in just 21 months A free online chatbot laywer has managed to overturn a staggering 160,000 parking tickets in London and New York City, saving users an estimated £2.9 million. The artificial intelligence bot was launched just 21 months ago and is touted as the "world's first robot lawyer". DoNotPay uses a simple chat-based interface to guide users through a range of basic questions to establish if an appeal on their parking ticket is possible. These include queries on whether there were any visible parking signs at the location where the ticket was given. The AI lawyer then guides the user through the lengthy appeals process. The chatbot is the brainchild of 19-year-old British student and self-taught coder Joshua Browder. Millions of parking tickets ILLEGAL - how to get yours cancelled He created the DoNotPay website by scanning thousands of documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, under the guidance of a traffic lawyer. The Stanford University student's site has won an impressive 160,000 of the 250,000 cases that it has taken on so far. “I think the people getting parking tickets are the most vulnerable in society. These people aren’t looking to break the law. I think they’re being exploited as a revenue source by the local government,” Browder told VentureBeat . Browder tweeted an email he received from a happy customer who successfully contested a parking ticket from Bromley council. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/worlds-first-robot-lawyer-overturns-8302040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the communist in you coming out. Capitalism makes the world go round or haven't you studied Keynesian Economics (sometimes also referred to as Reaganomics).

Capitalism makes the world go round or haven't you studied Keynesian Economics (sometimes also referred to as Reaganomics). I don't see any inherent flaws in communism. The main fault is the same with capitalism, the people that run it are out for themselves. Not to say I'd choose communism as a replacement but there are better alternatives for certain. I do agree with everything being maintained by the government but this government should be maintained by the people. There's so much pointless behavior and wasted time and effort in today's society. We could all unite and end all major issues within a short time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
