[Totient]

I'm reminded of the classic Charles Baggage quote:

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I'd argue for a pretty high level of transparency in the process - I would like to see whatever classifiers being used open-sourced, for example. And I'd want to know where people are drawing the training data from.

But the nice thing is that the tech industry has a large population of people very sympathetic to transparency, and with a history of a culture supporting it. Quite frankly, I think the legal community has a lot more to learn from the open-source community than the other way around.
