Judges are the best candidates for bribery, with politicians next in line, IMHO.
Perfection will always elude us.
But the more I think of it, the more I like the idea of an open-source AI being used to scour existing legal documents, plus evidence and testimony, and then rendering a preliminary verdict of “X”, with a full report as to the logic of this recommendation.
Then a human judge (who we hope would be unbiased (!)) could review the verdict and either accept it, or state an argument as to why, based on the evidence, the AI has got it wrong, and state the actual verdict of “Y”, with a full report as to why the human judge feels correct in this judgment.
As part of the appeals process, a higher level court could then review the evidence, review the AI report, and review the official judge’s report. An appeals court could then re-assess.
But I think AIs will soon play an important role in these things. Humans will be a fail-safe, but logic processing would be beneficial.
Can implementing artificial intelligence cause a person to commit (a) sin?
