A savvy chatterbot — said to be the world’s first robotic lawyer — has helped drivers in England and New York sidestep thousands of parking tickets in the past year. “I think the people getting parking tickets are the most vulnerable in society,” Browder, a Stanford University student, told Venture Beat. “I feel like there’s a gold mine of opportunities because so many services and information could be automated using AI,” he told Venture Beat. Browder was reportedly ticketed 30 or so times in his first year as a driver in London. I think they’re being exploited as a revenue source by the local government.”Browder launched the bot in London last fall and extended the service to New York City in March.
