Make another one for family & divorce courts and have it review all custody, support and alimony cases and I would wager there would be a lot less bullshit when they can't just ditch easy and keep their payday via alimony, child support, taking the dad's house from under him, etc.
You joke, but the law is a prime area for AI to do most of the work:
far more expansive knowledge of statute and case law, to include comparable cases from other jurisdictions that may not be precedential, but could inform consistent rulings.
ability to know disposition of all similar cases to ensure ruling is consistent.
not swayed by emotion
able to readily detect specious arguments, and other tricks lawyers play.
It would probably be a bad idea to just turn everything over to a computer but I could definitely see them I mean into something like a "super law clerk" in the next few decades.
And the issue that it can easily be manipulated by the coders. "give lesser sentences to poor black men because of their circumstances" or "prioritize the mother over the father in custody cases" are things that can easily be added to the models.
There was an article a while back where medical researchers were using medical data in AI/software training, and the researchers discovered that the software was able to predict a subject's race to a disturbing degree, with very little data.
Said researcher, being a shitlib, had much wailing and gnashing of teeth over this, but I thought it indicative of the potential if people just stop trying to constantly cripple the damn things.
It would also make the interpretation of the law by courts even more inscrutable (AI doesn't think like humans) and by having a greater capability to process case law it would magnify the significance of case law, eclipsing the literal written meanings of laws. With AI aiding or making the judicial decisions they would also be determining that case law and thus would effectively become the legislature as well.
Judicial decision making requires an understanding of society, logic, abstract reasoning, human practicality, and number of other things such that being a good judge may well be a human-complete problem. Meaning that we wouldn't be able to have good AI judges until we have AGI, at which point we also have superhuman AI and we have a near-extinction event because any schizo can use AGI to blow up the planet.
Replace the judiciary with AI.
Won't be many dindus left on the streets if you optimize it for crime reduction.
Don’t they spend 90% or computing power on preventing AI from becoming super nazis?
Nein! It is only 88%!

That would be harder considering the case law we have would be awful training data. If Hoefax ever becomes a thing AI could work magic.

Sure, so long as they manage to fix the minor minor issue of "will hallucinate entire cases" part.

That's not the part people will care about.

this but unironically
