Some thoughts on AI/ML(Machine learning) and a psak generator:
But it will happen imho. And since lots of psak (if not all) has lots of
unarticulated premises, it will be interesting to see what ML extrapolates.
In the outside world the man machine partnership is one model (others say
machine only!)  Any thoughts on how this might play out?

I can't recall if somebody already sent a link to this interesting article
(to me: utterly fascinating), which is davka on AI/ML vis-a-vis texts.  In
it, he talks about future possibilities.

(PS: some of the future tools are available on-line, free, in beta form
already.)

It seems to me that AI/ML might *help* a posek, in discovering potentially
unarticulated premises -- but the posek himself would need to judge whether
the machine-made connections make sense or not.
