An artificial intelligence, which has been touted as the “world’s first robot lawyer” and provides consultancy services on more than 150 subjects, has been on the agenda of both the USA and the world in recent months. This artificial intelligence, created by a startup called DoNotPay, could not be used due to the warnings of the court as it was preparing to appear in its first court on February 22.
Today, DoNotPay’s artificial intelligence is in court. According to the allegations created last week and submitted to the court, this artificial intelligence is both against the rules of law and publicly deceiving users.

Commenting that DoNotPay received more than 90% bad reviews on the internet and social media as “a failed attempt and a large-scale fraud”, the lawyers judged the CEO of the company with the crimes of “fraud by persuasion” and “informatics fraud”, both imprisoning him and imprisoning him.
