Pesticides and heavy metals are often measured in food, water, and other goods and have limits. Having these limits specified programmatically ensures there is a fast and efficient feedback loop between proposals to changes in limits and entities that would be affected by the policy changes.
Mandatory financial reporting can benefit from automation as well IMO.
- tsimionescu 6y agoThe limits are specified explicitly in current laws as well. The problem is always things like deciding the limits, measuring the values in real products, establishing QA standards that give us a good chance that the levels in each unit match the levels that were measured when approved etc. You'll also have all sorts of people lobbying for more lax standards claiming that stricter standards will have too much impact on businesses etc. Financial reporting could almost certainly benefit from more automation. However, even there a lot of the problems happen around what revenue to recognize, how to prevent people from moving money around in fictitious transactions etc.
