AI really is going to take a lot of jobs.
More and more, I would like AI to be used in court proceedings. Load in the relevant laws, load in the evidence and testimony. Let the AI decide if someone is innocent or guilty. Then, as a second step, have a human judge weigh in and (if necessary) state that the AI is badly programmed and is showing bias, and explain why the AI decision might be wrong.
It’s my opinion that neither judges nor juries these days can be reliably impartial.
A Major League Baseball umpire isn’t going to win an argument against ABS. And I don’t think Judge Boasberg would win an argument against a good AI system.
Kind of hard to cross examine a computer.
“More and more, I would like AI to be used in court proceedings. Load in the relevant laws, load in the evidence and testimony.”
Agree. I have this argument with my lawyer DIL all the time. My position is that if legal arguments and judicial rulings are to be based on decided case law then a computer can make the determination.
I agree with you - but - I also think the Political Left violates the spirit and letter of the law 10X times more often than the Political Right does.
My Bottom Line...
350 million hugely diverse people cannot be peacefully governed as one nation.
Yes but juries should still be able to decide. Just because someone technically broke a law does not mean there is intent or that the law actually makes sense. If we give the courts that power we are all screwed because everyone commits multiple crimes every day. There is a famous book called Three Felonies a Day that should scare anyone about this idea.
Oh, Lord, pull-eeze. To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer.
One man was ID’d by AI(facial recognition 100% certain he matched the suspect), was thrown in a cell, fingerprinted, booked. Despite tons of evidence he was not that person, everyone along the line chose to believe the AI over the man’s drivers license, job history, marriage etc.
Several people in the process raised common sense questions but would not challenge the 100% certainty of AI facial data despite evidence.
