'AI prosecutor' can identify a crime with 97% accuracy just by receiving an oral explanation



Chinese researchers have announced that they have developed an AI that can prosecute crime with an accuracy of 97% or higher. It is said that this 'AI prosecutor' can identify the crime only by explaining the case verbally because it can understand the natural language of the person, but it may be used to block the dissenting opinion by the government. And false positives are a concern.

The South China Morning Post, a daily newspaper published in Hong Kong, said on December 26, 2021, 'The world's first system that can prosecute people using artificial intelligence is the Shanghai Pudong People's Prosecutor's Office, China's largest regional prosecutor's office. Developed by '.



Since around 2016, the Chinese public prosecutor's office has been using an AI tool called 'System 206' to examine evidence, confirm arrest requirements, and evaluate the risk of suspects. However, since these tools are not involved in the decision-making process such as criminal judgment and sentencing proposals, the impact on the prosecutor's work was limited. AI that can analyze crimes based on human-created documents has also been developed, but until now it had to be operated on a large-scale system that was inaccessible to prosecutors.

Therefore, the research team of Professor Shi and others trained AI using more than 17,000 cases collected from 2015 to 2020, and obtained more than 1000 characteristic elements from oral explanations. We have developed an AI prosecutor who can identify crimes based on this. The AI prosecutor runs on a standard desktop PC, so it's easy for the prosecutor to use.

Professor Shi Yong, principal investigator of the AI prosecutor's development project and director of the Big Data and Knowledge Management Institute at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, 'This technology reduces the workload of prosecutors and focuses on more difficult tasks. It was developed to enable you. ' In a paper published in the Chinese journal Management Review, Professor Shi and his team said, 'This system can replace human prosecutors to some extent.'



The AI prosecutor developed by Professor Shi's research team this time is fraud, credit card fraud, gambling hall operation, dangerous driving, intentional injury, obstruction of public affairs execution, theft, and 'guilt that causes trouble and causes problems' It is said that it is possible to prosecute eight crimes of 'Fraud guilty crime ' meaning with an accuracy of 97% or more. 'Picking quarrels', which is sometimes translated as 'provocation of mayhem,' is a crime that is sometimes used to contain dissenting opinions such as the suppression of dissidents by the government because the definition is ambiguous.

A Guangzhou prosecutor who interviewed the South China Morning Post on condition of anonymity said, '97% may be said to be highly accurate from a technician's point of view, but it also means that mistakes will always occur. At that time, who will be responsible? Is it a prosecutor, an AI, or an algorithm designer? ', He expressed concern about the AI prosecutor.
