Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.
Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoWhy even keep facial expressions? People who are good at acting can abuse it by mimicking what’s expected from them and for people with e.g. autism who have problems with body language it can backfire hardly. Let facts and evidence be the base for a sentence.

true, though at that point an avatar itself is unnecessary. Maybe that should be the standard, just change procedure to not ever bring the defendant into the court room.
Admitted I do suppose the biggest problem with the hypothetical goal of hide the defendant in the court room, is that some of the evidence is going to obviously require what the defendant looks like (Eye witness testimony, video surveillance clips etc…).
I do agree with the general gist though, if we could run courts without ever showing the appearance or even names of the people involved, it would be the ideal system to eliminate bias’s
