China: Meh, machines can do the law

 

So China now has an 'AI' that charges people with crimes, i.e. indicts them. 

Tony Tran writes that China has a bot that knows the top eight crimes in their country. "“The system can replace prosecutors in the decision-making process to a certain extent,” the researchers said".  

The question is, will they use a bot to actually do the prosecutions? Based on data from 2018 & 2019, either their cops are super mega amazing, or their justice system is for display only. According to China Justice Observer, China has a better than 99.9% conviction rate. Totally not suspicious. 

In China, the conviction rate was 99.965% in 2019 and 99.969% in 2018.

The number of indicted criminal suspects and acquitted defendants in China in the last two years and the conviction rates we calculate are as follows:

In 2019, 1,818,808 people are indicted by the People’s Procuratorate of China, among which 637 defendants are acquitted in the public prosecution, with a conviction rate of 99.965%.

In 2018, 1,692,846 people are indicted by the People’s Procuratorate of China, among which 517 defendants are acquitted in the public prosecution, with a conviction rate of 99.969%.
