Machines that draft laws: they’re heeeere

I've talked from time to time about 'deontic AI' - that, AI that does more than just predict or create things, but AI that tells us how things should be. I don't know what people think of this - I have had any comments - but when it gets here I think people will have their questions. Anyhow, we're seeing the first inklings of deontic AI, as evidenced here in this Politico newsletter from today, an interview with staff from XCential, makers of a product called LegisPro. "Software is literally shaping our democracy," writes Mohar Chatterjee. "Like many applications of machine learning — including the ones in the news these days — law-writing tools are a lot more about pattern recognition than 'thinking.'" They don't want to call it 'AI' because "Lawyers get really nervous when we talk about anything bordering on intellectual processing of the law," but it's AI.
