I am far more concerned about software automating what used to be left to human judgement. AI will judge us just the same, just faster and with no way to appeal to common sense.

I'm being cheeky, but at the same time, it's a serious issue. AI used in these fashions are just going to be bureaucracy on steroids, however, as you mention, less chances for appeals.

And on an extremely serious note, I am utterly terrified how many people treat, "Well the AI/algorithm says xyz, it must be true. Got to believe the math/data." I'm not kidding, that's my fear. People blindly follow the almighty algorithms. It's just another form of religion and worship. And even more seriousness, atheists are fantastic at rationalizing their blind dogmatic worship over algorithms.
