ASBOLUTELY NOT, and AI is not a person NOR a PEER which would be making a mockery of our legal system which is already plagued by several other issues.

 @9L4Z23B  from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

No, not yet. More studies need to be conducted first

 @9SNR8JG from Maryland  answered…10mos10MO

Yes, it should be used to assist in making decisions. AI can analyze a record to determine what the expected punishments are from an unbiased view but it is up to judges and jury to make a final decision based on extenuating circumstances of the individual.

 @9TFW8PN from Georgia  answered…9mos9MO

AI needs more research, but could be used as a factual guide to assist humans in making a non biased judgement.

 @B24ZD62 from Utah  answered…6mos6MO

No, not directly. We can use it to assist in some information, but the decision should not be made BY AI, it should still be made by a person.

 @9ZMRJJR from Texas  answered…7mos7MO

No, I don't trust the accuracy of AI yet as it provides fake cases to create an opinion for a singular side.

 @9ZZ2C23 from Nebraska  answered…7mos7MO

no way, we’re talking about computers they have no feelings about what prison life does to a person especially solitary confinement. It should be outlawed

 @9TNP6KTanswered…9mos9MO

No, I do not trust the accuracy fully of AI yet, and it should never be used in the first place in order to make decisions that will drastically affect lives.
