I really think the first line in a trial should be a local AI system. Only feed it the relevant statutes and laws and also the evidence presented by the Defense and Prosecution.
Was a crime committed?
Did the Defendant commit that crime?
What is the verdict?
Have a human judge review for gross errors, hallucinations, or miscarriages of justice. If the judge disagree with the AI, have the judge write out a detailed rebuttal and carry that to a retrial.
I don’t think our current crop of humans can handle the task of serving on a jury. Machines can do it without emotion or prejudice.
That used to be true. Computers are so advanced now they have developed biases and some can be racist!........
Not a bad idea considering the quality of people in this country!!
“””I don’t think our current crop of humans can handle the task of serving on a jury.””””
True. I have been on two juries. What a bunch of clueless morons. The cardiologist sitting next to me on one was the worst. His big exposure to crime and the police was having his bicycle stole once. Wow, what a traumatic experience.
I don’t know what the answer is.
“Machines can do it without emotion or prejudice.”
Did you get this from the Babylon Bee?
I can’t believe that I agree with you!
Machines carry all of the biases of their human programmers, unfortunately.
The more I think about “robo-justice”, the more horrifying I find it.
Can you imagine replacing the legal profession with AI.
They could learn to code
