Lawyers may have those concepts outside of their legal work, but I've dealt with enough to say its no guarantee a lawyer may care about equity,justice, fairness, etc.

And maybe we don't want some negative human emotions involved anyway like fear. https://reason.com/archives/2016/06/23/confessions-of-an-ex-...

Those lawyers have a different concept of equity, justice, fairness, etc. from yours. It doesn't mean they don't embrace those concepts.

An AI simply doesn't have any of those concepts, and moreover, is incapable of understanding those concepts. We can barely get AI to understand natural language--squishy abstracts like these are several developmental revolutions away.
