The first judicial session with the first robot lawyer is scheduled to be held next February, in the latest field to be invaded by robots that are currently used in various fields.
The robot, designed by Do Not Pay, will work through a smartphone to listen in on court conversations, tell the defendant what to say over headphones, and give him appropriate and immediate answers.
The company pledged to bear the financial fines in the event that the robot failed in a case.
In this context, the Tunisian lawyer, Abdel Hamid Ben Mesbah, told Sky News Arabia: "Many things will be imposed on us, and among what will be imposed on us is the entry of artificial intelligence into the corridors of justice. This is inevitable for everyone."
He continued, "The question remains, to what extent will this entry be, and what rooms can artificial intelligence enter? Will it be satisfied with assigning only those working in judicial affairs, or will it replace them?"
He added, "I believe that whatever the development was, at least in the foreseeable future, robots and artificial intelligence cannot replace people in the trial. Their role will be limited to assistance, and it will gradually increase."
