You might think a computer would be an unbiased and fair judge, but a new study finds you might be better leaving your fate in the hands of humans. Researchers from MIT find that artificial intelligence (AI) tends to make stricter and harsher judgments than humans when it comes to people who violate the rules. Simply put, AI isn’t willing to let people off the hook easy when they break the law!

Researchers have expressed concerns that AI might impose overly severe punishments, depending on the information scientists program it with. When AI is programmed strictly based on rules, devoid of any human nuances, it tends to respond harshly compared to when it is programmed based on human responses.
