Jonathon W. Penney and Bruce Schneier wrote the article A.I. Microdirectives Could Soon Be Used for Law Enforcement. They describe the way A.I.s may automatically interpret and enforce laws. It is an interesting article which includes:

Made possible by advances in surveillance, communications technologies, and big-data analytics, microdirectives will be a new and predominant form of law shaped largely by machines. They are “micro” because they are not impersonal general rules or standards, but tailored to one specific circumstance. And they are “directives” because they prescribe action or inaction required by law.

Such a development is not surprising in light of the experiments large digital companies are already running on the world’s population.
