Beyond the Imitation Game: Why Passing the Turing Test Makes the Case for AI Juries

As Neuroscience News mentioned this week, a milestone cognitive science study unveiled the first definitive evidence that modern artificial intelligence (‘AI’) can pass the Turing Test.

Perhaps this comes at a good time given another court case has resulted in a hung-jury and a judge in the UK is under review due to lenient sentencing. 

While it may seem like a radical theory to suggest outsourcing jury service (and perhaps even judgements to AI), given the recent discussions about stopping jury service in the UK, I am clearly not alone in thinking that refinement is needed.
