Joey Skaggs: The Solomon Project

Runtime: (16:22)

In 1995, Dr. Joseph Bonuso, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs), announces that working with 150 computer scientists and attorneys specializing in artificial intelligence, he has developed a solution to the crisis of American jurisprudence and is poised to radically revamp the entire judicial system. Enter Solomon, a distributed program running on a set of super computers that can 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 short film in “Joey Skaggs Satire and Art Activism, 1960s to the Present and Beyond.”
