DNA in the courtroom, brought 'truth' What does AI bring to the courtroom? -ASKS, Sandra Mickanen

 


havent read it, don't currently have any michael connelly in my home library, but saw him interviewed..

and write away started wondering..  like, yes..

i do remember when DNA became 'a thing' so to speak, in the courtroom.  and everyone, for the most part, regarded DNA as a tool for truth

being used to PROVE someone did or did not commit a given crime.    -concrete, scientific, evidence; nearly undisputable. 

What does AI bring? to a courtroom... 

currently i can speak on behalf of myself and many others...  the word 'truth' certainly doesn't come to mind

i know it can be used to speedily execute tedious processes   -and there are a lot of tedious processes behind the scenes for lawyers, judges, expert witnesses..   etc.   tons of paper and digital paper work.

organizing, charts, graphs...      writing/composing opening/closing statements....   editing..

guiding jurors, influencing jurors this way or that, based on feedback from AI generated arguments..

but employed equally by both sides..

remains a chess game of sorts..

what tools can we bring to a courtroom which actually, exclusively bring us closest to the truth; and true justice..

those two things, truth & justice..   seem to keep getting lost in the win-at-any-cost, scientific, political and technological shuffle.

*****

ever curious,    selah! & amen
