数字记录永久化与 AI 对刑事司法中宽恕的影响
The Imperishable Record, Forgiveness, and the Future of Criminal Justice
AI 导读
研究提出"永恒数据当下"概念，指出数字技术可无限期保存过错记录，AI 使这些记录持续影响个人未来，从而威胁宽恕的可能性。作者借鉴黑格尔"硬心"与阿伦特"行动不可逆性"的论述，区分两种危险：人被永久等同于其行为，以及不可撤销的行为持续决定其命运。为此提出"保持未完成的权利"，包括限制旧记录权重、依据个人改变重新评估、重新审视影响生活的推断，以及对特定决策中记录使用设定时限。

Abstract:Digital technologies can preserve records of wrongdoing indefinitely, and AI can give those records continuing influence over a person's future. We describe this condition as the eternal data present and argue that it threatens the possibility of forgiveness. In criminal justice, formal punishment has an end, whereas the harms caused by the continued use of criminal records may not. Drawing on Hegel's account of the "hard heart" and Arendt's account of the irreversibility of action, we distinguish two dangers that digital systems can combine. People may be permanently identified with what they have done, and acts that cannot be undone may continue to determine what happens to them. We propose a right to remain unfinished, supported by rights to limits on the weight given to older records, to re-evaluation in light of personal change, to reassessment of inferences that affect their lives, and to time limits on the use of records in specified decisions. These proposals extend the ethics of AI beyond accuracy, transparency, and non-discrimination to address how long past wrongdoing should be allowed to govern a person's life.
