Could a bot analyze and summarize congressional actions, supreme court decisions, or presidential activities? Could a bot be embedded in a police force to report on crime or in a courtroom to describe trials? All in a style that is understandable and lacking bias." At a certain point we will realize that whatever biases an AI has, they're nothing compared to the biases of the corresponding human.
