Note that the AI is used to automate the work of the law enforcement agents, not the work of the judges and juries. The AI collects evidence that prosecutors use to build cases against defendants. The defendants still have the right to public trial in a court of law in front of a human judge and human jury.

edit: It seems there is a misunderstanding of what the AI does. It simulates human traffickers in text or video chat in order to find people who try to exchange money with them, and it simulates children in text and video chat in order to find people who try to groom them. It does not simulate child sexual abuse material or proliferate child sexual abuse material.



Here are some examples of the types of prosecutions I’m worried about.

High schooler sold drugs to undercover cop who pretended to be his girlfriend: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/457/what-i-did-for-love/act...

Legal study on failures of the entrapment defense in post-9/11 terrorism cases: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/law-and-social-inqui...

Most people will make a plea deal when faced with prosecution, so there’s never an adversarial process in front of a judge and jury.
