World's First Robot Lawyer Helps 160,000 People Void Their Parking Tickets

An artificial intelligence (AI) lawyer chatbot – yes, that's genuinely a thing – has successfully helped to void 160,000 parking tickets across London and New York in just under two years – all for free. According to The Guardian, it was created by a 19-year-old Stanford University student and self-taught coder who claims that it is "the world's first robot lawyer." Joshua Browder, who was born in London, says that his DoNotPay chatbot assists its users in an easy, friendly way, and it certainly appears to be working. It's already taken on a quarter of a million parking ticket legal cases, and it's won 64 percent of them. That totals 4 million in fines that are no longer having to be paid.
