Some Hope For Better Justice

You do realize we are talking about to entirely different areas of the justice system don't you. You are talking property and I am talking Criminal
Okey dokey.
Then we disagree, and I'm ok with that, And I have no intention of trying to change your mind on this
Good.
This isn't a debate forum, & staff are just
itching to rap knuckles over such a violation.
Rather have that than have a guy sentenced to life in prison, who did not actually do the crime, do to other issues in the system. Not ready to throw all responsibility for my actions, or any other humans actions to AI just yet. And can it be changed in an appeal if the defendant is dead? Or if the defendant lost everything due to a faulty judgement all because we wanted to be free of blame and from taking responsibility
I too oppose leaving responsibility up to AI.
But an AI analysis & judgment can provide a cheap & possibly
convincing argument that finalizes an issue. In case I haven't
mentioned it, the right to appeal a decision is still there.
My background and past training is at this level and again, we do not agree. I think think electronic judges at this level would be far more detrimental than helpful and wold not offset the bad judges in the system at all. Also take into account where those laws come from, a change, by a political human would then allow for no interpretation by a judge and only allow for the preprogrammed judgement of a computer
If the AI rendered decision is found wanting, then it
can be appealed. At that stage, those pesky humans
can enter the fray.
Again a disagreement, I don't see it as riddled with "fallible & corrupt humans" at the level of the court. Now where meny of those laws originate and are passed, that is another story and a robo-judge would not fix that issue. It would just give that level more power and authority and remove the nuisance they have of a judge that can interpret differently
Human judges typically enforce bad laws.
So that's a problem in any system.
Bad law can be addressed by a jury, but beware.
Even though jury nullification (ie, finding a defendant not guilty
by reason of an unjust law) is our right, to admit it can get a juror
prosecuted.

But I am also not dooming the system, neither should you doom the currently system based on real estate court issues.
Dooming?
As the title says, it's about "hope for better justice".
Big difference from wining a game and judging a persons to lif in prison or death. Also a big difference from programming a computer to make moves and come up with moves on a board than programing in copious laws and then expecting the program it to come up with new and amazing interpretations of those laws. (don't believe me, take a look a a book of criminal procedure law, or for that matter Vehicle and traffic laws, there are tons of them to varying degrees of level and charge) And I am not joking here, you do have a engineer's POV, this comes as no surprise, and that is good in many things, but in this however I do not feel that view is the one to follow.
I chose go (as opposed to a simple game like chess) because
it's long been a classic milestone in AI maturity. AlphaGo
signaled capability to face the complexity of law & human
action.
Note that this won't happen overnite. I expect decades of
development before we see widespread use in Ameristan.
And as with many things today, I do not feel that everything should be evaluated in the terms of time and cost.
You might feel otherwise if you spent as much money & time
in court as I have, & personally witnessed the slowly grinding
gears of corruption & incompetence.
The system has problems, many of those crated by the politicians who pass the laws they come up with. A robo-judge will not fix that, only give them more control since there is no other voice to argue for or against. And I do not think dehumanizing the legal system is the proper approach, nor do I think it will make it better, I do feel it will create a lot more guilty sentences, thereby sending more to prison, some admittedly deservedly so, thereby overloading an already overloaded system and based on that alone there are no cost savings, only more expenses. My view ,when we are talking human lives, I am no so sure it should be treated like a commodity with concerns of time and cost.

And now at the prison level....there is corruption in that system, do we then replace guards and wardens with robots.....how about police.....fixing the problems in any "human" system are not easy. It takes a lot of people with the drive to do it to fix it. Sadly today I have little faith that there are enough to take on that fight in any of these 'Human" systems. To many looking for a quick and easy solution, how to make the most money, gain the most power and to many willing to listen to be told what to think.... butI do not think a robo-judge is anything more than greater addition to that overall problem, not a solution...at least not for a long, long time.

And then there are hackers, nation state hackers with virtually unlimited resources. They try and influence our elections, what make you think they would nto try and influence our laws. We're are behind the 8 ball in may of the IT security systems at the government in some rather surprising areas. Again, don't think a robo-judge is a good idea at an IT security level either

We do not agree, we will not agree and I do not plan on expending a whole lot of time in a back and forth showing you the evil of your ways while you in turn try and show me the evil in mine, whilst we both spin our wheels going no where as the great keyboard warriors of anonymity we are.
To argue against AI assisted justice is the same as arguing
against computer assisted design, manufacturing, weather
prediction, scientific research, etc. This tool produces useful
results.

Criminal cases of property law cases..... and there is a difference.....believe me...I know.

Spoken like a true engineer......however I did notice you failed to comment on the IT security POV.....

So if I like apples I must like oranges!? Or better yet...If I like Fuji Apples, and not like Crab apples....I mean they are both apples...or how about this one....how can you argue against alcohol if you like apple cider.....because they use apples to make hard cider......

Not the same thing IMO...other than the AI assist to the process all similarities are then null.....none that you listed include the possibility of sentencing folks to jail or death. How can someone think driving a car is great by demolition derby is dangerous....they bot include cars don't they......But enough of this wheel spinning, going no where, as the great keyboard warrior of anonymity.....TTFN....

So?

But there's another way to approach AI aided justice.
Suppose you're a defendant accused of some heinous crime.
Let's say......grand theft haggis....& facing life in the slammer.
If your attorney had AI to create & analyze defense strategies,
would you reject this information?
A few decades of such a tool would shed light on reliability
& utility, perhaps leading to more confidence in AI relative
to humans.
Spoken like a true engineer......however I did notice you failed to comment on the IT security POV.....
I did.
You missed it.
But system security in our current system is a big problem too.
This shouldn't be about pointing out real & imagined imperfections
in a proposed system as a means of dismissing it. Consider the
potential to improve justice. If it can be bettered, why reject it?

AI car drivers were once thought impossible.
Then they were thought too dangerous.
But you might discover that the near future will offer
AI drivers with a better safety record than humans.
Would you reject a better option just because it
isn't perfect?

You conservatives.....if you had your way,
we'd be traveling in horse drawn buggies.

I've never experienced court in Eurostan.
But I have here, & find the process rife
with ineptitude, corruption, & procedural
impediments that would make a Vogon
jealous.
You should get out more, then. :D

But seriously, beware the siren voices of the far Right on this issue. Trashing the legal system is a classic strategy of these people, since they want to pervert it to their own ends and reduce its ability to put a check on government power.

We see the same thing from Bozo's government in the UK: attacks on judges and "lefty lawyers" - who are doing no more than their job, in our adversarial legal system, but who are inconvenient to government ministers trying to do what they like with people's lives.

The marvellous thing about this is that you can just feed an AI with racist conviction records and then make it replicate those decisionmaking patterns ad infinitum, so you don't need to employ racists but can get the same results.

And your point is as it applies to law and courtroom....and by the way, they are still dangerous.....and no, like the case with the law, as I have been trying to make....I ain't agin it.....but it is far from ready to go......and in the case with law......it is a lot further off than an autonomous 18 wheeler......

Beyond that...this is abuse....you are looking for an argument.... you want room 12A, next door.

Take it further expecting a response and I will quote Bruce Lee from the book "Zen in the martial arts" by Joe Hyams....you have been warned ;)

In the news....
Robot judges that determine guilt or innocence will be 'commonplace in 50 years'
Excerpted.....
Robot judges that can determine guilt or innocence will be commonplace in the English legal system within 50 years, experts have claimed.

Scientists say the the bots will be able to conclude whether someone is guilty or innocent with a 99% accuracy rate by analysing body language.

One believes the physical and psychological signs of dishonesty will be identified using an array of cameras.

Signs that signal “wrongdoing or probable falsehoods” could include irregular speech patters, an increase in body temperature and hand and eye movements.
:
:
AI judges in Estonia are being considered to clear court backlogs by adjudicating in small claims of up to £7,000.

Two opposing parties will upload documents to support their claims and AI tech will analyse these submissions and issue a decision.

If either party is dissatisfied with the outcome, they can appeal the decision to a human judge.

Are they going to make the Bots wear a robe and wig?

Why Bots. Why not just a computer terminal. Seems unnecessary to have a bot type being to represent the AI.

I don't see how it's a left v right issue.

They can do their job better.
You don't oppose better cheaper justice, do you?

I can just see the "hacker for hire" ads: "We promise you a positive outcome. Pay 50% now and 50% when you win".

While autonomous 18 wheelers might be currently more
dangerous than human driven ones, if they eventually
become safer in the future, then they'll be an improvement
worth adopting, imperfection notwithstanding.

Btw, I don't see how AI legal judgments are "abuse".

Quoting Voltaire's "Zen In The Computing Arts".....
"Perfection is the enemy of progress."

I took some liberties with the quote & source.

In the British Empire, yes.

But in Ameristan, just a black robe....
