This House Would ban the use of advanced analytics in political campaigns

Advanced Analytics is the autonomous or semi-autonomous examination of data or content. It involves using sophisticated techniques such as machine learning algorithms, deep learning, predictive modelling, or other tools to discover deeper insights, make predictions, or generate recommendations. Advanced Analytics can be used for political microtargeting, which involves identifying the detailed profile of individual voters and voter groups, testing the most persuasive messages, and tailoring campaign strategy to target different voter profiles.

This house would only punish criminals if their actions are not in line with the action shown by the machine
Infoslide

There is a machine that objectively and quickly determines what actions people would take, if they were placed in the same position as a test person. The machine gets the relevant context from touching the test person and is accurate. It then represents the mode (most chosen) action. E.g. if a test person is homeless and stole an apple from a grocery shop, the machine extracts the context. It would run a simulation for each person and if the most chosen action is to steal from a grocery shop to feed themselves, it would show this action. The majority of the population believes in the objectivity of the machine.
