In a historic moment, an AI-powered avatar attempted to present a case before a New York appeals court, but was swiftly shut down by the judges. The AI avatar, appearing via video screen, was set to argue a lawsuit, but the judges quickly realized it wasn't a human and refused to proceed. This incident raises questions about the role of artificial intelligence in the legal system and its potential applications in court proceedings, including virtual litigation and legal tech. As AI technology advances, it's likely to have a significant impact on the future of law and legal services.
