This considers the use of AI algorithms to assist in making decisions such as sentencing, parole, and law enforcement. Proponents argue that it can improve efficiency and reduce human biases. Opponents argue that it may perpetuate existing biases and lacks accountability.

Abolish ai on a global scale because it takes over others jobs
@9TVPNXW2wks2W
as long as the defendant and prosecution is okay with it
@9TLDMJL3wks3W
No, AI does not understand emotions and consequences. It would not properly be able to assess the weight of these decisions to the community.
@9SLJBJV1mo1MO
Yes…it would take the human error factor/emotion out of sentencing and provide more consistency. Criminal justice currently favours the criminals rights and sentencing needs to consider and benefit the victims. It needs to be more than just a “legal system”
@9RRJ6D72mos2MO
Yes, but only if the technology is proven to have extremely high accuracy (99%+)
@9RPPNG72mos2MO
Yes, but it ought to be used to supplement the findings of the courts and juries.
@9RCXLPV2mos2MO
It should be used to detect evidence that was tampered with by ai.
@9RC3SBW2mos2MO
Not now since AI has been proven to invent case law, perhaps in the future but only as an adjunct.
