DoNotPay has to pay $193K for falsely touting untested AI lawyer, FTC says

You can't "sue anyone with a click of a button" without testing it first, FTC says.

Among the first AI companies that the Federal Trade Commission has exposed as deceiving consumers is DoNotPay—which initially was advertised as "the world's first robot lawyer" with the ability to "sue anyone with the click of a button." A DoNotPay spokesperson told Ars that the company "is pleased to have worked constructively with the FTC to settle this case and fully resolve these issues, without admitting liability." By cracking down on unfair or deceptive practices in these markets, FTC is ensuring that honest businesses and innovators can get a fair shot and consumers are being protected.”
