I am currently reading "The AI Con" by @Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her) and @Alex Hanna and - while not being quite done yet - want to express joy about the book not beating around the bush.
As a (former) member of the judiciary I was explicitly delighted to read this quote:
"The tools do little to address the punitive, carceral, and racist foundation of the criminal justice system. We can't automate our way to a fair criminal justice system."
