When Machines Can Be Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Justice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence - by Katherine B Forrest (Hardcover)

This book by former federal judge Katherine Forrest provides a comprehensive exploration of justice in the age of artificial intelligence, arguing that current AI tools used in connection with liberty decisions are based on utilitarian frameworks of justice and inconsistent with individual fairness reflected in the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

The book uses AI risk assessment tools and lethal autonomous weapons as examples of how AI influences liberty decisions, highlighting the algorithmic design's ability to embed human biases.

The author provides a detailed explanation for why these biases exist, tracing the evolution of the debate regarding racial and other biases embedded in such tools.

This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the theoretical framework of AI tools in the criminal justice system and lethal autonomous weapons utilized in decision-making, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and justice.
