This Chatbot Will Help You Sue Anyone

As a young programmer, Joshua Browder built a chatbot to act as a kind of AI lawyer that would help people dispute parking tickets. Not only did it work, but it was hugely popular, which led Browder to expand the program to help anyone harmed by the Equifax scandal sue the company in small claims court. Now his company, DoNotPay, is aiming even higher: by the end of this year, Browder plans to launch an addition to the platform that will you let you sue anyone. "To be honest, Equifax was just a bit of testing for the product that would let anyone sue anyone," Browder, one of 2017's 35 Innovators under 35, said Wednesday at MIT Technology Review's EmTech MIT conference. "The main use would be for taking down corporations."
