Joey Skaggs: The Solomon Project – Judy Drosd, Joey Skaggs (New York, New York)

n 1995, Dr. Joseph Bonuso, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs), announced that he, along with 150 computer scientists and attorneys specializing in artificial intelligence, had developed a solution to the crisis of American jurisprudence and was poised to radically revamp the entire judicial system. Enter Solomon, a distributed program running on a set of super computers that could deliberate on evidence and render swift, unassailable, equal justice for all, putting judges in the back seat and relegating juries to history. This is the tenth film in the oral history series entitled, "Joey Skaggs Satire and Art Activism, 1960s to the Present and Beyond" in which the irrepressible Skaggs recounts the captivating tale where innovation meets the unthinkable. Information about the whole oral history series is here: https://joeyskaggs.com/videos/oral-histories. 2023; 16 min.
