Quid Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? I've ask myself this question many times. Maybe, we just need justice by algorithm... (half kidding).

Quid Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? I've ask myself this question many times. Maybe, we just need justice by algorithm... (half kidding).
- roenxi 4y agoJustice by algorithm is basically what is already in place - judges are meant to be follow a fairly prescribed set of steps and use their extensive legal training to do what is "usual" for anything that isn't prescribed. The issue, as the article points out, is that wearing a robe and/or wig does not suddenly make people free from faults. The only solution is systems that avoid centralising power on one person as best they can, and clear guidelines on how that person should act when it is unavoidable. Which is basically how the thing works.
- joshstrange 4y agoI'm a little less (more?) than "half kidding". I know it wouldn't be easy and would need a lot of oversight especially at the beginning but for years now I've thought the benevolent AIs (a la The Culture series) are one of the few paths forward for our justice system if not our government as a whole. I want to be clear, I'm not saying there wouldn't be pitfalls but having so many of our institutions be completely dependent on humans acting in the best interests of the many and doing the right thing feels very much like a failed experiment.
