WHEN MACHINES CAN BE JUDGE, JURY, AND EXECUTIONER

Justice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

by Katherine B Forrest “Is it fair for a judge to increase a defendant’s prison time on the basis of an algorithmic score that predicts the likelihood that he will commit future crimes? Many states now say yes, even when the algorithms they use for this purpose have a high error rate, a secret design, and a demonstratable racial bias. The former federal judge Katherine Forrest, in her short but incisive When Machines Can Be Judge, Jury, and Executioner, says this is both unfair and irrational ...” Jed S Rakoff, United States District Judge
