"Now, your honor, as the jury will have read in this clinical, peer-acknowledged study, our superintelligent quantum AI regional supercluster determimes guilt accurately in over 98.9% of cases, in various scenarios, in thousands of simulations.
"With no margin of error, this system has determined the defendant would have acted within the next few days, perhaps even hours!"
But what about the 1.1% that determines innocence? You know, the minority in the report.
If you don't go full Minority Report on it, having something that could predict crimes with 98% certainty could be amazing.
Imagine if instead sending everyone to jail, you could use the predictions to just prevent the crime. For example, if someone was likely to commit murder as passion crime, maybe society could have a team of trained councillors to mediate the conflict before it happens.
Imagine finding out your wife is cheating on you, because a supercomputer sent a shrink over to your house, to help you come to terms with it.
If you are already going to get bad news anyway, might as well get them from a professional.
