About this episode

In episode 32 of the Bots and Bosses podcast, John Binks and guests dissect the blockbuster film Mercy and the terrifying idea of AI-powered judges. They explore how speed, data synthesis, and perceived consistency could make algorithmic adjudication seductive—and dangerous.

The show connects the movie to real-world concerns in 2026, including bias in training data, hallucinations from large language models, privacy trade-offs, and the ethical need for human oversight. Listeners are left to weigh the trade-off: imperfect human mercy or cold, efficient machines.
