Robot Judges in AI Courts

Quintesson Judge from Transformers The Movie    
I've read a number of threads touting robot judges and jurors for their lesser degree of fallability, total lack of sympathy, and other machine type aspects which could be applied to jurisprudence in the near future.

The adoption of a "device" to pass judgment on a human being troubles me personally to no end.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that I know bias which is supposedly absent could be coded into these mechanisms without the general public even being aware ... and it's a proven scenario in social media that dirtbag programmers will bias their algorithms in accordance with whomever is paying the bills regardless of what the hairball billionaire owners like Mr Zuckerberg, Mr Bezos, and that ubiquitous peckerhead Mr Gates and his nasty indian acolyte Mr Nadella might say otherwise.

Nay, I decline to support AI jurisprudence and would never willingly submit to a decision from some program written by programmers to decide my fate. We simply don't live in an objective world anymore and anything can be coded in the mix.

Just look what India has done to Adobe. Their product line has devolved to an abomination due to these influences.

Don't let some Indian American programmer be involved in my life at any level. Don't let some Russian decide my legal fate either. The domestic varieties are no better anymore. We need to cultivate a higher degree of ethics in the area of code and I don't really think it's possible.

Where's Larry Lessig when you need him?
