If technology were employed (carefully) to enact more thorough and appropriate justice for all citizens, there may be less of the type of anger that leads to violent crimes and other social problems. The current justice system focuses too heavily on after-the-fact heavy-hitting crimes -- where an individual is harmed a great deal in a short period of time. But what about all the micro-crimes that many people commit over and over, hundreds or more times over the years? The justice system is, for the most part, completely oblivious in this respect. After all, how can you try a person for micro-crimes? If instead, there were some God-like technology that watched for micro-crimes and compensated the victims in micro-payments (or something to that effect), it could really help to make reality more fair and just. Naturally the micro-payments would be funded by the perpetrators. On another note, many mass murders are committed by people who have been essentially outcast from society in one way or another. If these people had someone to talk to about their problems or perceived social issues (real or otherwise), it could probably do some real good. An intelligent AI could serve this role. In fact, good AI friends might be sufficient alone to prevent many such murders. Now, this is not to say that such a technology is anywhere near possible at this point in time. Nevertheless, I feel it is callous and completely inappropriate to look at things like mass murder without considering the sociological circumstances that lead to such events. The same type of thinking that makes people disregard murderers as non-humans is exactly the type of thinking that can lead someone to murder. There is a fine line to hypocrisy here.
