Robot Judges

Maybe we start with 3 Genuine People Personalities as judges? See: - Role of AI and 12 GPP Jurors - School of Marvin

# The Supreme Sport This is the Vogon version of justice.

The **Supreme Sport** is a three-bench of Genuine People Personality **Robot Judges** who preside over moderation cases in the Hitchhiker’s creative commons. “Sport” because justice here is a game you can learn and play; “Vogon” because there are forms, gongs, and a regrettable fondness for stapled guidelines. Each judge embodies a core function of real jurisprudence: **Process**, **Rule**, and **Equity**.

- Judge Procedura — The Process - Judge Codex Basilisk — The Rule - Judge Aunt Repaira — The Equity

See Notes on Judges form more research and thnking on this.

# Why “Robot Judges,” Not Jurors - **Jurors** are human peers who decide facts and community acceptability. We reserve “juror” for people. - **Robot Judges** are assistive adjudicators: they keep play fair, law coherent, and outcomes repair-oriented—then hand the hard calls to humans when needed.

# Robot-Judges in SciFi - Human judge vs. the new machine “Cybers” in a court system run by robots (public domain) - Frank Riley — “The Cyber and Justice Holmes” (1955, full text) - “Justice Computer” auto-adjudicates guilt by intent/outcome; classic SF-comedy take on automated justice - - Red Dwarf — “Justice” (1991) - Full robot court gag sequence (presiding robot judge, robot logic) - Futurama — “Insane in the Mainframe” (2001) - Mega-City One trials **robot Judges** with grim results (see “Mechanismo” storyline) - Judge Dredd — Mechanismo arcs
