I have wanted for awhile to build a site which trained a machine learning system on the various data made available surrounding Congresspeople and information on members which were eventually found to be guilty of adultery or other similar crimes - then produce a score for every member of Congress rating how likely it is that they are cheating on their spouse, or taking bribes, or similar. Give them a sneak preview into the types of systems they are aiding and abetting in the creation of. I am uncertain of whether it could be considered defamation to have a brainless machine learning system decide there's an 85% chance some random member of Congress is an adulterer. I don't actually believe that any such system could ever reach any reasonable level of actual effectiveness due to the fundamental complexities of human behavior and circumstance, but that's not stopping the law enforcement side of things from moving forward so I don't see why it ought to stop the side trying to point out fundamental flaws in the strategy.
