Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI That last point is a key reason I believe that AI can be espe- cially effective in combating white-collar crime, saving us as a country billions every year. Toward a more perfect system I believe that we can use AI to amplify our own humanity, our own compassion, our own intelligence, and create a better, more fair criminal justice system. Note that my goal here is to create a better system, not a perfect one. We will never get our justice system perfectly right, because there are humans in the loop. We will always have some biases, some errors, some imperfections. Yet that doesn’t mean we don’t try. We should all care deeply about fixing this system, so riddled with injustices. Let’s strive to get it as close to perfect as we can, acknowledging that we must do so in a cost-effective manner that is attainable with our policy goals and realistic for our society. What I don’t want is for any hint of imperfection to sidetrack us from our goal. And, as I stated at the start of this chapter, I recognize my own limitations in discussing criminal justice reform. That’s one of the reasons why I value talking to experts in the field like Bryan Stevenson, who has graciously agreed to be on my podcast, Pos- sible. Bryan has dedicated his life’s work to this topic, and I’m looking forward to learning from and sharing his perspective on all of these issues in a deeper and more nuanced manner than is possible here. 76
