At a time when human laws keep the innocent from connecting with justice, Moore’s law might bring them together. Cognitive computing, deep learning and natural language can uncover mosaics of innocence concealed from human eyes. The supercomputer that helps law enforcement find the guilty, when inclined, is poised to identify the unexonerated.
Computer programs, tirelessly and innovatively searching databases, hold the keys to unexplored justice. The hidden interstices of innocence locked away in files and mainframes might be teased out by algorithms. Indeed, exoneration is born from information that is often inaccessible, but when discovered, unassailable.
