This is different from self-driving or software dev apps.
Law is different because the bar has a legally enforced monopoly on doing legal work.
DoNotPay was being threatened. But they weren't practicing law - they were just providing legal tools.
My point is that were in uncharted legal territory. Perhaps ask the AI what it thinks ;)

- danShumway 4y ago> Law is different because the bar has a legally enforced monopoly on doing legal work. I don't see how this would decrease DoNotPay's liability. Regardless of how you feel about the bar, I don't think that changes anything about who they would sanction or why. Having a legal monopoly means they're even less likely to go along with a "the AI did it, not me" explanation than a normal market would be. I mean, no matter what, they're not sanctioning the AI. They don't recognize the AI as a person, they recognize it as a tool that a person/organization is using to perform an action.
