I give you the AI of Morrowind, currently one of the most advanced AI systems known. Here's what happened during beta:

1.) One character was given a rake and the goal "rake leaves"; another was given a broom and the goal "sweep paths," and this worked smoothly. Then they swapped the items, so that the raker was given a broom and the sweeper was given the rake. In the end, one of them killed the other so he could get the proper item.
2.) In another test, a minotaur was given a task of protecting a unicorn. However, the Minotaur repeatedly tried to kill the unicorn because he was set to be an aggressive creature.
3.) In one Dark Brotherhood quest, the player can meet up with a shady merchant who sells skooma, an in-game drug. During testing, the NPC would be dead when the player got to him. The reason was that NPCs from the local skooma den were trying to get their fix, did not have any money, and so were killing the merchant to get it.
4.) While testing to confirm that the physics models for a magical item known as the "Skull of Corruption," which creates an evil copy of the character/monster it is used on, were working properly, a tester dropped the item on the ground. An NPC immediately picked it up and used it on the player character, creating a copy of him that proceeded to kill every NPC in sight.
5.) In one test, after a guard became hungry and left his post in search of food, the other guards followed to arrest him. The town people looted the town shops, due to lack of guards.

In the year 2139, an advanced AI is created. It's purpose is not to take control of the military industrial complex and subsequently turn against the humans, but rather, it's creator claims that the AI is designed to remove the human component of legal adjudication
Do you think that this is desirable, or indeed feasable? Will hundreds of Judges be collecting their dole money? What effect will this have on the adjudication process? Will it mean the death of American Realism and the proliferation of rabid formalism?
I'd especially like to see the computing & legal dudes share their thoughts on this.
