MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau)- The Philippines’ Department of Justice has embarked on a modernization program that will make crime investigation world-class.

Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla told The Adobo Chronicles that his department will do away with all lie-detector tests in favor of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

The move came after news that AI has made non-invasive mind-reading possible by converting thoughts into text, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. The innovation involves an AI-based decoder that translates brain activity into a continuous stream of text with high accuracy. The system works by mapping patterns of neuronal activity to strings of words with particular meanings, rather than attempting to read out activity word by word.

Remulla is confident that DOJ’s adoption of modern technology will significantly reduce the backlog of criminal investigations and cases and will put the meme, “Justice delayed is justice denied” to shame.
