The issue with this is that you want to impune, in the grand scheme of things, a small few individuals. And so you want to institute an AI system. Which are controlled by the same individuals (or at least the same class of individuals, with the reach to abuse such a system).

I'll hear you out if AI becomes truly decentralized. Until then, no, this line of rhetoric is just justification for the surveillance state that's to come (to be fair, the surveillance state would pick yet another justification, regardless).
