AgTech AI Council

What if the most powerful tool in justice—the jury—is also the most invisible? A new documentary by University of Illinois law professor Suja Thomas reveals that 97% of criminal cases in the U.S. end in plea deals, not trials. This isn’t inefficiency—it’s systemic coercion. The same logic applies to AI in AgTech: when decisions about crop yields, land use, or resource allocation are made by opaque algorithms without human review, we replicate the same kind of unaccountable power. The film, 'The Best Justice System in the World,' premieres at DOC NYC on November 15. Its message is clear: justice requires visibility, appeal, and peer judgment—principles we must embed in AI systems. How can we ensure that AI in agriculture is accountable, not coercive? https://news.illinois.edu/documentary-skewers-us-justice-system/ Source: https://news.illinois.edu/documentary-skewers-us-justice-system/ View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
