Wow, clickbait on HN.

So basically the justice department is using 'AI' or rather Machine Learning/Classification powered tooling to aid in their work. Reminds me of the engineer who wrote a chatbot to handle claims on a parking fines in NewYork: https://qz.com/719888/an-ai-powered-chatbot-has-overturned-1...

Aka: "AI-Powered Robot-Lawyer now winning cases in New York City and London Metropole".

We in the west are already using this for bail decisionmaking - this one is used in the US.

On another note, why is there always a push to "humanise" the system with some bullshit robot? It's completely unnecessary. What it boils down to is some weighted matrices doing mathematical work. I would argue that if it was used by a human judge to aid their judgement, mixed in with their prior experience. I would argue that in a lot of cases it is going to make them question their own biases if the system is designed to be race blind and only using the salient facts.
