I won't take the time to say much beyond simply expressing the fact the way "justice" is uhhh ... "administered" ... inside this ... "ecosystem" ... has left me ... "cold" enough, that I seldom "waste my time" contributing the content I once did (yeah, I know ... Lots of quotation marks => Lots of different ways to say more of less the same thing ...)
As someone familiar with your character, this is a sad thing.
So ... A "black and white" solution "administered" via some code? Setting aside all the obvious "blood (time) and treasure" questions, written by who? Then "accountable" to who, for the "finished product" results? Based on what?
All valid questions. I think the first step is to get good information. In network security we have a device called an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System). If you simply added it to your network and turned it on, it would basically kill legitimate traffic. An IPS has to be trained for weeks to months on what constitutes valid data, so it sits there in passive (intrusion detection) mode until you turn it on. I see this the same way. Let's start by figuring out how to get good data, and present it in a way that is transparent to the community, and build up from there. That may fall short of 'automated justice', but at least provide the community with the tools it needs to police itself. Automated justice could be applied much further down the road where it makes sense.
Now retired, I was blessed at the end of career with the opportunity to attend two world events related to Business Analysis. In one of them, I learned about an aspect of "AI" that I will never forget, from an international authority and a very gift communicator.
He explained that AI is almost universally known to stand for "ARTIFICIAL Intelligence." While he said that most certainly was applicable, AI had other equally important meanings and he then talked at length about "AUGMENTED Intelligence." His presentation was unforgettable.
My point in raising that memory now is taking what you are referring to here and simply pointing out that "augmented" may be deemed ultimately to be a better solution than "automated." All of the "hard work" and "heavy lifting" would be continuously executed by these "expert" systems and then the information "handed off," along with recommendations, to whoever was given the final authority to act upon it.
