Australia is currently supporting the use of artificial intelligence to handle divorce. An online app called "Amica" is help separate couples, make parenting arrangements, and divide assets for them.
Amica came out helpful since the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic has pushed many couples at their limits. According to The Next Web's report, Relationships Australia's survey revealed that 42% of 739 respondents experienced a negative change in their relationship or marriage with their partner during the lockdown restrictions.
The study also found out that a huge number of couples are seeking separation advice. Because of these results, the Australian government supported the use of Amica.
The app uses an AI to provide suggestions to couples on how they can divide their money and property based on their circumstances. Although the chatbot offers many advantages, such as reduced emotional distress and convenience, its applications are still limited. Solely relying on Amica could also lead to some negative outcomes.
How Amica works
Amica's official website explained that the AI considers legal principles and applies them to the couples' circumstances. This means that the app relies on mass data, embedded and collected by the developers, from previous similar cases to make suggestions.
There are other apps just like Amica
In Australia, Amica is not the only AI that has this type of function. Penda and Adieu, which are used to help victims of family violence, are also available in the country. Penda, an AI-powered family legal service, can provide free legal and safety information. It also offers online legal information and advice without the need for face-to-face meetings with lawyers.
