Sent to Prison by a Software Program’s Secret Algorithms
Using artificial intelligence in judicial decisions sounds like science fiction, but it’s already happened in Wisconsin.
Hasnain says:
"There are good reasons to use data to ensure uniformity in sentencing. It is less clear that uniformity must come at the price of secrecy, particularly when the justification for secrecy is the protection of a private company’s profits. The government can surely develop its own algorithms and allow defense lawyers to evaluate them."
