I'm not sure if automated decisions are a good idea. But it would be really cool to improve productivity of politicians.
How can we expect our politicians, let alone our lay people, to understand all of the law's in a country? There is just too much text to grok.
Software developers build abstractions, write tests, refactor and simplify older code, yet no such trend seems to be occurring for law. Why not?
Politicians already do use references and bucketization, i.e. write a law for schedule one drugs, then add or remove entities from the schedule one bucket. Can't we abstract even more?
Recently I've been wondering if it is feasible to create a syntax for lawyers. Like a law language with a compiler, package manager and similar tooling to compile laws rather than write them from scratch.
Anyone familiar with such research?
