"The vision systems of autonomous vehicles, voice assistants able to spend money, and machine learning systems filtering unsavory content online all need to be trustworthy." I feel like we're building up to some horrible situation here, because these systems are never going to be worthy of trust in the same way that a human is. As just one example: as more and more of our lives happen digitally, more evidence of real crimes will be digital evidence. So these AI systems can be easily fooled into thinking you were in the wrong place or requested something that you didn't. And there is absolutely no way to correct the record.

It seems likely this would be handed the same way security cameras do it today, by saving the original images and having humans look at them. You might want to look into how a "chain of custody" is handed by the courts.

  Might work OK for video/audio (though DeepFakes calls that into question). But what about the timestamp on it? Or what about GPS location (did you even posses the phone at the time? Was the GPS data manipulated later?)? There will be a huge class of things that basically can't be questioned, denying you the ability to confront your accuser.

    Not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that the side that's presenting any physical evidence needs to show why it probably wasn't tampered with and the other side can question that. When gathering evidence that you want to hold up in court, you need to think about how to prove that.

> are never going to be worthy of trust in the same way that a human is. I have this worry that the glue that holds society together is empathy. Which is we feel other peoples emotional state as if it were our own. Most of us at least. You can bet for the governments and corporations that deploy AI technologies in order to control and manipulate people that is exactly the opposite of what they're interested in.
