The world’s first “robot lawyer” has been wildly successful since its London launch in September of last year, reports Business Insider.
Since launching the beta version of DoNotPay, 19-year old Joshua Browder’s bot has successfully appealed $3 million (R45,000,000) worth of parking tickets.
This equates to between 160,000 of 250,000 parking tickets in both London and New York, giving it a 64% success rate.
Here’s how it works: simply visit DoNotPay and make an account. From there, the chatbot will ask questions about your parking violation, like whether there were signs indicating you couldn’t park. If you answer a question that shows you could have a case, the bot will help generate an appeal.
While the bot may not be quite as successful on South African shores, Bowder is already working on a new app that might – a new platform that can help HIV positive people understand their legal rights when disclosing their medical status.
