AI Lawyer Debacle: FTC Cracks Down on DoNotPay

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued DoNotPay, an AI company that claimed to be the world’s first robot lawyer. Founded in 2015 by Joshua Browder, DoNotPay first helped users contest parking tickets and then expanded to offer services like drafting wills, canceling subscriptions, and assisting with small claims court. The company has served over 1 million clients, making a significant…

The cartoon interviewer greets you onscreen. He looks a little young to be asking questions about a job—sort of a cartoon version of Harry Potter, with dark hair and glasses. You can choose other interviewers to speak with instead, representing various genders and races with names like Benjamin, Leslie, and Kristin. Alex, the name given to this AI interviewer, asks about your professional experience, theoretical questions about programming, and then gives out a coding exercise.

Alex is an AI interviewer developed by micro1, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment engine for engineers. The tech provides an “enjoyable, gamified, and less-biased interview process,” the company’s founder, Ali Ansari, claims in a demo video of the tech.

The use of AI tools in job hunting is becoming widespread. Career sites like Indeed and LinkedIn have incorporated generative AI tools for job seekers and recruiters into their platforms. There are interviewer chatbots companies can enable, as well as AI tools to help people practice for job interviews. But the use of AI in evaluating candidates has mixed reviews: Some HR tools have been caught making negative judgements on applicants who have Black-sounding names, giving preference to men, or skipping over candidates with employment gaps on résumés.

AI tools in hiring save companies money and time, but the long-term implications for workers have yet to be realized.

Ansari tells WIRED that this tool allows companies to “screen candidates in a much more efficient and accurate manner.” Micro1 splits its model into two formats: Companies can employ the software to interview candidates for specific roles, and rather than picking through a sample size of thousands of applicants, can screen endless masses of candidates with the AI interviewer. Or candidates can go through the process independently to be added to a marketplace of engineers. The internal marketplace has a talent pool of vetted engineers—from India, Argentina, Brazil, and other countries far from American tech hubs—who Ansari describes as “untapped but exceptional.” This, he says, may help diversify who gets to work in top tech jobs. “We become the way into Silicon Valley,” Ansari says.

More than 100,000 people have gone through micro1’s screenings with hopes of being added to its marketplace of engineers, and the company lists a number of tech companies, including DoNotPay (whose CEO has also invested in micro1) among those who have used its system to screen or hire engineers from its marketplace. Ansari says companies are using micro1 to screen as many as 30,000 candidates a month.

Asynchronous video interviews have become more common, with companies turning to prerecorded responses in automated systems to handle screening interviews. This task has become more onerous after a series of layoffs in the past two years have whittled down the number of positions available, and recruiters who post open roles on sites like LinkedIn can receive hundreds or thousands of applicants. And generative AI tools have made it easier for those seeking jobs to bulk apply, creating more applications for recruiters and hiring managers to review—some with little relevance to the role. But while AI is becoming more common on the hiring side, too, some recruiters are wary of the biases it may have, and have steered clear of employing the tools in their decisions.

Of course there’s still bias with AI tools, Ansari says. “Of course there’s also bias with humans. The goal with the AI system is to make it much less biased than humans.” With AI, Ansari explains, the AI interviewer on micro1 won’t pass or fail a candidate; instead, it places them into categories like inexperienced, mid-level, and senior. Then, Ansari says, it’s on the hiring manager or recruiter to decide if the candidate is a good fit for the role. They can also listen to audio recordings of the responses rather than relying solely on the AI interviewer to interpret them.

Zahira Jaser, an associate professor at the University of Sussex Business School, says a lot remains unknown about the impact of AI and asynchronous interviewing—including how the tech affects candidates. Recording oneself can be awkward, and there are no human cues to pick up on from an AI interviewer. After being told to act naturally and put their best foot forward in the already nerve-wracking process of human job interviews throughout their career, people may not know how to show their best self to a chatbot, particularly when they’re up against opaque, built-in biases of AI.

“In the real world, humans are biased. But there are techniques we can use to overcome this human bias,” Jaser says. “In an algorithm-driven bias, this is likely to be very systematic.” For example, some AI hiring tools are trained on profiles of past successful employees, raising concerns that they will repeat past biased hiring practices.

For now, these AI tools don’t have the final say in who gets hired. But they increasingly have sway over which applicants get face time with a real human, and that can have a massive impact on what the workforce looks like going forward.

But if you ask Ansari, there is an alternative path for interviews in the future: He believes job seekers may also use AI-driven avatars to interview for jobs with AI interviewers, relegating the painful, tedious parts of initial job searchers to computers entirely. AI could make “really good matches” between job seekers and companies, Ansari says. “And then the company and the candidate can spend their actual time on a Zoom call or in-person interview.”

Artificial Intelligence 

Middlemen provides AI-driven support for activities like document preparation and legal question answering through the use of products like Ferret.ai, CaseDocker, LegalSifter, Discover Beagle, Humanata, Lexum, Legalese Decoder, and DoNotPay. A well-run, easily available library would undoubtedly calm both parties and eliminate the need for pointless labour, in addition to the fact that these papers are securely secured. 

Case Progress Tracking

Through an interactive dashboard, clients may keep an eye on the status of their cases in real-time, guaranteeing full transparency and prompt updates. This keeps the client up-to-date and educated about the intricate details of the case.

Where Technology Meets Advocacy

In addition to being a legal platform, Middlemen serves as a lifeline for people who have been ignored or overburdened by the intricacies of the legal system.

4 Trends transforming legal services

The legal industry is changing rapidly. New ideas, tools and ways of working are changing the way lawyers and law firms offer their services. These changes are not just about technology – they also involve new ways of thinking and working. In this post, we look at four key trends shaping the future of legal services. We'll also touch on legal market analysis, industry trends, and legal news updates to help you understand what's happening in the legal world.

1. Technology is making legal work faster and smarter

Technology is changing the way lawyers work. New tools help lawyers complete tasks faster and with fewer errors. Here are some examples:

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Artificial intelligence can scan a large number of documents and find important information in seconds. This saves time for lawyers and their clients.

Online Legal Services: Many firms now offer services online. You can get legal advice or help with documents without leaving your home.

Automation: Repetitive tasks such as filling out forms are now automated, giving lawyers more time to focus on complex cases.

These tools make legal services more efficient and accessible to everyone. According to Legal Industry News, many firms are adopting these technologies to stay competitive.

2. Focus on access to justice

Not everyone can afford legal services, and that's a problem. One of the big trends in the industry is finding ways to help more people get legal help. Here's how to do it:

Free legal advice: Many organizations now offer free or low-cost legal advice to people who need it most.

Legal Apps: Apps like “DoNotPay” allow people to solve small legal problems on their own, like a parking ticket dispute.

Plain language: Some legal documents and processes are transcribed into plain English, making them easier to understand.

These changes aim to make the legal system fairer and more accessible to all, regardless of their income.

3. Specialization in legal services

In the past, one lawyer could handle many types of cases, such as family law, criminal law, or business law. However, more lawyers are now choosing to specialize in specific areas. This means:

Better expertise: Lawyers can become experts in areas such as environmental law, technology law or health law.

Better results: Clients get more targeted and effective help because their lawyer knows the field inside out.

Analysis of the legal market shows that specialized legal services are in high demand. As industries become increasingly complex, lawyers need to know the unique rules and regulations for each sector.

4. Globalization and remote work

The legal industry is no longer limited by borders. Lawyers and firms can now collaborate with clients and colleagues from around the world. Here's what's changing:

Telecommuting: Many lawyers now work from home or remote offices thanks to video calls and online tools.

International cases: Firms handle cases involving laws from multiple countries, such as international trade or human rights issues.

Collaboration tools: Cloud software makes it easy for teams to share documents and work together on cases, no matter where they are.

According to recent Legal News updates, globalization is helping law firms expand their reach and better serve clients.

Why these trends matter

These changes in legal services are making the industry more modern, efficient and client-friendly. How these trends help:

Clients save money: Technology lowers costs and makes legal aid more affordable.

A fairer system: Access to justice means more people can get the help they need.

Higher quality of service: Specialization ensures that lawyers are experts in their field.

Faster resolution: Remote working and global collaboration means cases can be resolved more quickly.

How you can benefit

If you ever need legal help, knowing these trends can make a big difference. Here are some tips:

Use technology: Search online for legal services or apps to save time and money.

Ask about specialization: Choose a lawyer who focuses on your type of case to get the best results.

Research options: Many organizations offer free or low-cost services if you can't afford a lawyer.

Understanding these trends can help you make smarter decisions when looking for legal services.

What's next for the legal industry?

The future of legal services looks bright. As technology continues to improve, lawyers will be able to work even faster and help more people. New ideas like simpler processes and better access to justice will make the system fairer for everyone. According to Legal Industry trends, the next big thing could be using artificial intelligence to predict case outcomes or blockchain for secure contracts.

The legal world is constantly changing and staying informed is key to benefiting from these improvements.

Conclusion

The legal industry is transforming in exciting ways. Technology, access to justice, specialization and globalization are just some of the trends that are changing the way legal services are delivered. By keeping up with these changes, you can make better decisions and take full advantage of the modern legal system. Whether you're looking for affordable services, specialized expertise or faster solutions, the future of legal services has something to offer everyone.
