When I studied rule-based processes of induction in the 1990s, John Holland was one of the people I turned to. In the end I came to view induction as an outcome of complex systems. This is important, because it means the processes described by people like Duncan J. Watts can be applied to scientific reasoning. In this article I learned that they can also be applied to legal reasoning, which makes sense if you come to the understanding that law is a dynamic complex system. This is a good interview with law professor Dan Katz, though I wish it had gone into some more depth on some of the current issues regarding AI in law - for example, how does the use of neural networks impact equity in law? Do neural networks stereotype? Do they create different systems of justice for the rich and the poor?
