This week on The Futurists, Anders Sormannilsen.
Speaker 1
We haven't really had a clear sort of villain up until recent times, but I do think you're calling it out there and it's the fossil fuel industry.
Speaker 3
This week we're going to get into the avant-garde side of Futurism with my friend Anders from Down Under, but before we jump into that, Rob, what have you got in the news?
Speaker 2
Well, you know, Brett, lately you can't open a newspaper or go to a website without seeing some news about generative AI. And I know the story is starting to get a little bit old. We've covered a few times, but they keep finding new ways to use these genitive pre-trained transformers. And here's one that I read about and I thought you would dig at the most, Brett. So here we go. It's a robot attorney. And as it turns out, the legal language and the proceedings in court are actually quite a good use case for an AI. And so they have now developed a new kind of GPT model or a large language, a large language learning model. And it's called GPT J. And the J stands for justice or jurisprudence, I suppose. But the point is that it is a robot, basically robot cheat sheet. So if you're in the courtroom for a standard procedure, like traffic case, you can wear a Bluetooth headset and this thing will whisper in your ear instructions. And if you repeat what it says, you might be able to talk your way out of the court case. And the company I made it is called do not pay. And so they offer ways for people to beat traffic tickets. And this is their new gimmick. And so this is an AI that advises defendants. It's not entirely clear that this is legal because in most US states, you're required to be a licensed attorney to practice law. And so this would be kind of a legal robot, although it is a kind of a neat concept. And it's going to be tested. You're allowed to represent yourself as well. Yeah, that's the idea. And so and you're also allowed in certain case courts. You're allowed to wear an earpiece. That's not true in every court. And so they had to find a jurisdiction where those two things are possible. And they claim they have found two. So they're going to go with a test case in about a month. So we shall keep you posted on the outcome there. What's interesting is do not pay the CEOs not revealing which jurisdiction they're going to have the case in because he doesn't want to tip the judge off that they're having this robot attorney assist them. So there's a little bit of suspense around this story. But I just thought you get a kick out of it. You can now have an AI help you beat a speeding ticket. No, I did see some other news as
Speaker 3
well, which we should get into.
