If anything, having computers do the judging with cameras setup from all directions with human judges available to override in particularly suspect rulings is more fair to everyone and everything involved: The players, the spectators, the judges, and the game.
It will take away most of the fun(?) of arguing a judge's ruling and gaming them, but I will fundamentally always support making games fairer and objective'er.

Right, we’re heading to a world where everything is “perfect”.

I hope so. But I suspect a racial bias of some kind will be uncovered.
I remember watching Olympic diving years ago and the commentator was making a big deal out of the fact that the divers were spreading their knees apart (apparently a flaw) but that the judges weren't picking it up because their viewing angle on the dives didn't allow them to see it. So the divers were taking advantage of a literal blindspot in the human judging to make their dives easier to perform.
So really, changing to AI judging is just going to change what the competitors optimize for in an arbitrary way. It's not going to fundamentally change things.
