in the american tv show Jinx in the second season, there was an AI equipment in the court.
I'm guessing that the Brits are trying to do the same thing. While one is speaking, the voice recognition is in action and speech to text is shown on screen. And I'm guessing that this text can be easily translated with AI immediately.

There are plenty countries who are already implementing AI services, for example Greece

1. Interesting, but if you (hopefully never) find yourself on trial for murder in a court in the (e.g.) the UK would you have complete confidence that the AI interpreting is complete and accurate - and if there is no human interpreter present to verify?

2. Don't be fooled by the low-key polite understated tone of this meeting. This is war! The people answering the questions are trying desperately to defend their protected position, and the committee members are giving them a hard time. Hanging over the whole proceeding is the prior decision, of the committee, to suspend the bidding process for the new contract and this has the three visitors shìtting themselves although in true British fashion, they do their best to hide it.

Well, I can't do anything about implementing AI in court, that's for sure. That's UK committee's decision. All I was saying was that AI equipment was already used in court, but not for translating, more like Stephen Hawking's, but in reverse. And also translating is possible, and about the accuracy, well...

I watched couple of minutes of your stream, and they were all nervous.

Thanks for the tip. Dec 18

Missed it, will watch it later.

Let me make an educated guess: at no point in time there wasn't even a hint about the big elephant in the room, i.e. the wisdom of giving a total monopoly on language services for ALL courts to just one company?

With the predictable - and intended - result of the monopolist abusing its monopol and only bored housewives, students & Co having any interested in working for peanuts. If they considered THAT perfectly normal for years,

Would love to be proved wrong, but it’s not likely.
