The world’s first “robot lawyer” has been wildly successful since its London launch in September of last year, reports Business Insider<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since launching the beta version of\u00a0DoNotPay<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a019-year old Joshua Browder’s bot has successfully appealed $3 million (R45,000,000)<\/strong> worth of parking tickets.<\/p>\n

This equates to between 160,000 of 250,000 parking tickets in both London and New York, giving it a 64% success rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s how it works: simply visit DoNotPay<\/a>\u00a0and 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\u00a0you answer a question that shows you could have a case, the bot will help generate an appeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n
