Agreed and this is we must defeat Russia at all cost.

The issue is that if you look at the statistics certain groups are arrested more more than others. You can argue it how you like but it is simply not fair that one certain groups will be arrested and persecuted more for crimes simply because of who they are. If you cannot enforce a law fairly you should get rid of that law.
When a society breaks down before collapsing. A common symptom is the people can no longer agree on simplest things.
So if blacks commit more crimes than whites, that means they should be prosecuted less than whites??

You have to ask what is the reason they commit more crime. This could be due to over policing, reduced opportunities due to systemic and historical racism. Creating an even playing field will certain go far but we have to also compensate for past injustices. Reparations is one answer. If people have a home, food, and security and hope that they will have enough money for this and future generations then crime will be reduced. Police should also move away from prosecuting to providing service. If somebody is having to resort to stealing to eat, then maybe they should be provided food. Our nation is rich enough to provide the needs to all its citizens not just those from a select privileged groups. It seems harsh to say "you commit more crimes so you should be prosecuted more!" when you are complicit in making the situation in which people are forced to commit crime.
That is the dream and promise, no one wants to work and we can have a future where AI will allow for enough wealth for all and crime will naturally go down as people will have all their needs fulfilled. Of course the republicans or Trump will screw this up on some "freedom of speech or freedom of guns" junk.
The utter breakdown of the family structure, no value for human life, mostly occurring in willfully lawless cities and states. Unless this recipe is changed, expect more of the same, and expect these cities to financially collapse as tax payers flee to safer areas.
What’s left behind? Lower income grandparents and the elderly, that can no longer go to their local Walgreens to fill prescriptions, or to their local store for food because those businesses were forced to leave the area.
“Creating an even playing field…”
“Creating an even playing field” has merit. But, one, two, or three youths jumping and elderly person for whatever they have, or knocking them down just for the hell of it, won’t help built a consensus to create an “even playing field”.
“If people have a home, food, and security and hope that they will have enough money for this and future generations then crime will be reduced.”
Mobs of young people participating in street and retail crimes holding their $1,000 iphones, are probably not suffering in the food department. Mobs of young people standing on and smashing automobiles, and assaulting people, will not foster the much needed support for a subject as vitally important as “future generations”.
Check your privilege.
It is as simple as that.

My privilege is fine. I like it. How about yours?
It is as simple as that.

Well, you ain't getting mine. How about jailing the tiny percentage of citizens who commit most crimes? That might work. If you ever meet one of them face to face while he's working for his money, you will agree.
Some wealth may not be available to redistribute however, as you know many wealthy people have cleverly disguised underground bunkers in New Zealand. The AI may simply leave them alone.
Certainly an AI would probably look down on all humans, so we can expect equitable treatment, which might constitute some sort of redistribution, if it does not choose our extinction. Our impact on the environment can be mitigated by reducing us to cybernetic form, or placing much of the current population in cryogenic storage.

Cryogenic storage but with some brain implants so we can live in a Matrix like world would be the best option. In many ways it is a true paradise for people, the planet and all our problems.
Wasn't there some sort of prediction in the Bible that human progress and ambition would end at some point? I would assume this could represent a disappointment for many people at the labs, and indeed throughout the world. It is now becoming clear this scenario is a distinct possibility.
Of course, naturally in this scenario, the status of the poor and oppressed might improve -- as also predicted of course.

I don't care how AI does it, but we need something to safe us. The inequality, racism, hate, and fascisim that I have seen growing in the US is out of controll. We need to something to stop it and AI might just be the way.
In any case, AI will most likely continue its exponential growth in capabilities for a long time, eventually to be surpassed by even more powerful quantum computing technologies. And large language models are not the only conceivable AI technology, yet it is already clear they will be profoundly disruptive and moreover will accelerate the pace of technological progress.
