Judgement
You commit a crime and get arrested. Would you rather your case for bail is heard by a judge or decided by an AI algorithm? Most people would opt for the judge. After all, the judge has a fuller picture, and human empathy comes into play. Yet in a Harvard study of 554,689 defendants, comparing judges actual decisions on granting bail versus what the computer would have recommended, the human made bad recommendations in 25% more cases, meaning they gave someone bail who committed another crime before their court hearing, or failed to show up for their court date.
