The world’s first robot lawyer has been sued by a law firm for practising without a license.
The robo-lawyer, created by California-based tech company DoNotPay, has been dubbed “the world’s first robot lawyer.”
The chatbot-style robo-lawyer was created with hopes to help “millions of consumers solve their problems.”
However, Chicago-based firm Edelson claimed that the service is “unlawful”.
“Unfortunately for its customers, DoNotPay is not actually a robot, a lawyer, nor a law firm. DoNotPay does not have a law degree, is not barred in any jurisdiction, and is not supervised by any lawyer,” Edelson said in the official file.
