- seiferteric 9y agoHow is it any different than being misidentified by a witness's description?
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoBecause people can discredit a witness. But with this they say "DNA evidence" and the jury is already deciding.
- crusso 9y agoDon't worry, once we have an AI in charge of the legal system, it will know the stats of DNA identification. It's much less likely that you'll be liquidated without cause.
- aaron_m04 9y ago> It's much less likely that you'll be liquidated without cause. Well I'm sure the AI would prefer behavior modification devices to liquidation as humans are too expensive to grow from scratch.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoBut what's their marginal value? Fewer could be better, overall!
- oceanswave 9y agoWe could implement a human screening program that keeps only the humans of value! This program needs a name, I say we name it after an informal grouping of preditory members of Telluraves
- seiferteric 9y agoI don't get it, nobody needs to be discredited, peoples memories and descriptions are imperfect to begin with. All this is doing is providing a sketch that might vaguely look like the suspect, and since they already have that persons DNA, it should be easy to rule people out who get falsely identified, so no jury would be involved yet.
- adrianmonk 9y agoIt makes no sense for the jury to look at the sketch when you have the DNA from the crime scene and can directly compare it to the DNA from the accused person. In other words, if you have what you need to produce this sketch, once it goes to trial you have everything you need to make a much more authoritative determination of either their guilt or innocence.
