If this works, why not have an AI automatically investigate Judges and government officials. The AI should indicate for example if the judge needs to recuse him or herself... That came up several times this year. And for politicians, the AI would tell us if they are lying or if they are allowing or taking part in corruption. For this purpose, they should wear a microphone and camera the entire time they are government officials. Don't like it? Too bad, that's the law. Right?

I had a shower fantasy the other day where I wrote an AI that hacked all of the data brokers and web trackers then doxxed every politician and political candidate's web history in it's totality the instant they were added to the ballot, worldwide. It was decentralized running many instances and used a similar structure for distributing the information.

Because the power is supposed to originate with said Judges/Officials. The AI tool is a means of justifying their decisions, not a means of exerting their authority. If you give the AI power over the judges/officials, why would they want to participate in that system? If they were proper social climbers, they would - instead - aim to be CEOs of AI companies.

Gotta get around the problem before it's too late.
