OCR + Data mining with automatic form generation.
It works here because the state is willing to accept the data/results at face value.
Kind of a stretch to call it algorithmic justice.
- bertil 8y agoI would see it as a stretch to call it “machine learning” justice (ignoring the OCR) but it is automated with an (albeit simple) rule -- and that process is an algorithm. Like for all machine-learning project, I would recommend ‘Crawl before you run’ and have that project encourage the Justice system to modernise and have basic data-handling processes in place. We’ll get to Orwellian pre-cog soon enough. Right now, let’s get basic things like not arresting homonyms or people who have committed acts that are not crimes anymore.
- pnw_hazor 8y agoWe could call it: Filtration Justice or Greater than Justice if time_since_last_conviction > n years AND past_crimes_committed NOT IN [some list of crimes] { generate form and email to prosecutor. } The OCR is the most important part. edit-to-add: some misdemeanor convictions are barred from sealing/expungement. It is jurisdiction dependent but they usually are crimes, such as, DUIs, domestic violence assaults, sex crimes, and so on.
