How long until it's smart enough to be a judge?

[klntsky]

Never, assuming current legislation.

First of all, it is not formalized (despite being written with the use of bureaucratic language). So, there's no way to validate the output. Secondly, juridical system is based on authority of the state (which manifests clearly in their ability to alter the rules). Why would any sovereign ruler(s) want to get rid of their authority?

The only use cases would be automatic fines for speeding or inappropriate parking - but it's already there.

...After sharpness and judgement will be implemented.

Incidentally: there is an interesting video interview to Noam Chomsky and Gary Marcus on limits of current attempts at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBdZi_JtV4c

...And Gary Marcus saying just before 7:00 that "something is missing" (understatement): ontology.

Gray Marcus: «...and these systems fall apart left and right».

Nice summary from Gary Marcus: «What they do is, they perpetuate past data - they don't really understand the world».

I don't know about judge but it could probably outperform most of Congress at this point.
