<<I think I would disagree in theory in 99% of the cases- just need a
bigger computer and better fuzzy logic/AI programmers and poskim who can
detail how they reach a decision.>>
If the psak depends on the community then the computer would have to
account for that.
AFAIK fuzzy logic relies on probability and so one has a probabilistic psak.
I always remember the question of whether one can talk out a sefer
torah for hakafot
shneot in EY at the end of Shemini Azeret. I saw one psak that allows
it since it is
a kiddush hashem for everyone to dance with the torah. I saw a second psak that
prohibited it because it is a chillul hashem to allow everyone to
dance with the Torah.
Obviously these are 2 poskim with different attitudes to including the
general populace
and not just rabbonim or even shomrei mitzvot in dancing with the torah.
How could one put that into a computer program?
