Not buying the judge not part. A human being judged by a non-human will be very far in the future. Bots can’t be held accountable. It’s also an “us vs. them”, for some people it’s hard to accept being judged by a different gender, ethnicity, etc. A bot telling you to go to prison? Tough sell.

I can easily see a two tiered justice: a human judge for those who can afford it, and AI judge for rest of us plebs.

Dammit, another horrifying yet entirely realistic near-future scenario to keep me up at night.

Without being too much of a downer, neither can judges in most places. Source: personal experience in a country with "telephone law".
