Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it.

How do you know if it is done right or wrong?
It is fake, and it is a manipulative kind of fake.
You assume some honorable purpose, but that isn’t the only possible purpose.
Even “bypassing biases” would be a kind of manipulation, and you can never know what other manipulation is going on at the same time. It could exploit other biases. It could try other tricks that we are not evil enough to imagine, and it would be “better” at it than any real human.

The point is the idea, that in general a system could be applied where… say universally the same avitar is applied to everyone while on trial. The fact is “looking trustworthy”, is inherently an unfair advantage, that has no real bearing on actual innocence or guilt of which we know these bias’s have helped people that better evidence have resulted in innocent people getting convicted, and guilty people walking.
Theoretically a system in the future in which everyone must use an avitar to prevent these bias’s would almost certainly lead to more accurate court trials. Of course the one hurdle in my mind that would render it difficult is how to accurately deal with evidence that requires appearence to asses (IE most importantly eye witness descriptions and video footage). When it comes to DNA, Fingerprints, forensics, and hell the lawyers arguements themselves, there’s no question in my mind that perception with no factual use, has serious consiquences that harm any attempt to make an appropriately fair system.

The one and only “good” AI. Trustworthy for everybody?
I do not believe in that.
First you would need to decide on the one and only company to provide that AI. Then someone must prove that it is good and only good. Then it must be unhackable (and remain so while technology evolves).
All of this is hardly feasable.

Again I think our problem is the concept of what we are calling “AI”. IE I’m only talking of basically AI Generated art/avitars. If done in a consistant way I don’t think it even quite qualifies as AI. Really just glorified puppetry. There’s no “trustworhtyness”, because it doesn’t deal in facts. It’s job is literally just to take a consistant 3D model, and make it move like the defendent moves. It’s old tech used in movies etc… for years, and since it’s literally dealing in only appearence any “hacks” etc… would be plainly visible to any observers
