For the first time, an AI-based legal counsel will act as a lawyer in an actual court case. AI firm DoNotPay said in a report originally from New Scientist that through headsets, AI will guide defendants in court on what to say to get rid of the fines and consequences associated with speeding charges.

Joshua Browder, founder and CEO of DoNotPay, said by phone that the speeding ticket hearing in which he attended in person is scheduled to take place in a U.S. courtroom sometime in February. However, Browder and the company are reluctant to provide any further details of the case to protect the defendants' privacy.
DoNotPay is also reluctant to disclose specifics of the case, as what they did was likely to violate the court's laws and protocols. In many countries and jurisdictions around the world, mobile phones and internet-connected devices are banned from entering the courts. To circumvent restrictions on phone use, Browder explained that the company relied on hearing accessibility standards in this particular court, which provided a loophole that allowed the use of Apple's AirPods. Asked if the court would be aware of AI's assisted role at the hearing, Browder replied: "Definitely not."
The CEO said the company is also working with another U.S.-based speeding ticket defendant whose case will go to an amplified trial. In this case, DoNotPay is weighing the use of teleprompters and synthesized voices, which have been described as "highly illegal." But he wasn't too worried about the legal consequences because "at the end of the day, it's just a traffic ticket." Browder doesn't expect courts to take speeding defendants hard because of AI tutoring, and there is no explicit provision in the law prohibiting AI legal aid. In addition, "it's an experiment and we like to take risks," he added.
As a catch-all point, DoNotPay's plan is to be liable for any fines incurred in both cases, and the company is compensating the two defendants for their participation in the "experiment." He also explained that the company has extensively trained its AI so that it does not lie or deviate from the facts presented, hoping to eliminate the possibility of being accused of perjury in court.

DoNotPay started in 2015 as a basic chatbot designed to help users solve public affairs and legal issues, mainly by using conversation templates. Even in its earliest incarnation, the robot did it quite successfully, and in less than two years, DoNotPay successfully eliminated 160,000 parking tickets in New York and London. The company claims that it has solved a total of 2 million related cases since its inception. Then, in 2020, with the release of ChatGPT, the company shifted its focus to artificial intelligence and increased its potential.
Recently, DoNotPay has gained traction for its corporate negotiation strategy. In a video posted on his Twitter account, Browder demonstrated how bots powered by ChatGPT would save $10 off their monthly internet bill. The founder also told New Scientist that he recently reversed $16 worth of bank charges using artificial intelligence and synthesized speech. And these are the types of use cases Browder envisions DoNotPay best suited to the public in the near future, though he told New Scientist that his goal is for AI to eventually replace some lawyers entirely.
The company already offers tools on its website to produce written communications or scripts for those looking to avoid or minimize fines, medical bills, subscriptions, or other paperwork hurdles common in modern life. For now, though, at least, AI's court appearance is just a "proof of concept that tries to encourage courts to embrace technology and allow people to go to justice," he said.
In the company's promotional video, Browder said: "We help consumers fight companies, beat bureaucracy, get them out of parking tickets and refunds from big companies like airlines... Our vision at DoNotPay is to make the law free. But we will have to wait until the end of February to know whether this lofty vision has been successfully translated into the Tribunal. "
The company will disclose its details after the defendant's Zoom-based and in-person case ends.

An AI-based legal advisor is set to play the role of a lawyer in an actual court case for the first time. Via an earpiece, the artificial intelligence will coach a courtroom defendant on what to say to get out of the associated fines and consequences of a speeding charge, AI-company DoNotPay has claimed in a report initially from New Scientist and confirmed by Gizmodo.
The in-person speeding ticket hearing is scheduled to take place in a U.S. courtroom (specifically, not California) sometime in February, DoNotPay’s founder and CEO Joshua Browder told Gizmodo in a phone call. However, Browder and the company wouldn’t provide any further case details to protect the defendant’s privacy.
DoNotPay is also reticent to disclose case specifics because what they’re doing is likely in violation of courtroom laws and protocol. In many countries and jurisdictions around the world, phones and internet connected devices are banned from courts. To get around restrictions on phone usage, Browder explained to Gizmodo that the company is relying on hearing accessibility standards in this particular court, which offer a loophole allowing the use of Apple AirPods. Asked if the court will be aware of the AI-assistance during the hearing, Browder responded, “Definitely not.”
The CEO said the company is also working with another U.S.-based speeding ticket defendant in a case that will go to Zoom trial. In that instance, DoNotPay is weighing the use of a teleprompter vs. a synthetic voice—the latter strategy Browder described as “highly illegal.” But he’s not too concerned about legal repercussions because “at the end of the day, it’s a traffic ticket.” Browder doesn’t expect courts to come down hard on speeding defendants over AI-coaching, and the law doesn’t have explicit provisions in it barring AI-legal assistance. Plus, “it’s an experiment and we like to take risks,” he added.
However, DoNotPay does plan to take responsibility for any resulting fines from both cases, and Browder said that the company is compensating the two defendants for their participation in the “experiment.” He also explained that the company has trained its AI extensively to not lie or stray beyond provided facts, hopefully eliminating the possibility of a courtroom perjury charge.

Browder said the company will disclose details of both the Zoom and in-person cases following their conclusion.
