No, AI does not understand emotions and consequences. It would not properly be able to assess the weight of these decisions to the community.
@9RCXLPV5mos5MO
It should be used to detect evidence that was tampered with by ai.
@9RC3SBW5mos5MO
Not now since AI has been proven to invent case law, perhaps in the future but only as an adjunct.
@9RBY87R5mos5MO
No, AI could make suggestions but decisions should be made my humans
@9RBNFB75mos5MO
No, it will be assumed objective even though it will maintain our biases.
@Prosperitarian 5mos5MO
Yes, but only to offer solutions to decisions, not make them
@9MKYHZ77mos7MO
Yes, but only for minor infractions that would otherwise tie up the courts time for more major cases
@9ZNZZY81mo1MO
Yes, but it should not be the main source of judicial decisions. Rather, it should be used to ensure consistent and uniform results based on case law and common law precedence.
