Chinese scientists have developed artificial intelligence (AI) that can bring charges with 97 percent accuracy based on an oral case. The newspaper South China Morning Post writes about it.
The new technology has already been tested at the Pudong District People's Procuratorate in Shanghai. Scientists are confident that their development will reduce the daily burden on prosecutors, allowing them to focus on more complex cases. In their opinion, the system can, to a certain extent, replace prosecutors in the decision-making process.
Artificial intelligence was “trained” on the basis of more than 17 thousand cases reviewed from 2015 to 2020. The digital prosecutor's indictment is based on a thousand characteristics that his system recognizes during the analysis of the case description.
Already, artificial intelligence can bring charges for eight of the most common crimes in Shanghai. This list included credit card fraud, gambling, reckless driving, willful injury, obstruction of duty, theft, fraud, and “fighting and causing trouble.”
According to scientists, in the future, the digital prosecutor will be able to issue charges under less common articles.
Earlier, an international group of scientists described a new way of teaching artificial intelligence – using nickel oxide and hydrogen. Experts have found that nickel oxide has the ability to mimic the most basic characteristics of animals during training. This connection can be used with the use of hydrogen in the creation of computers of the future.
