I know that it's very obviously a dangerous political tool if it gains any institutional power. And if you don't understand that, watch the video. But even on a technical, non-social level:

There is no real explanation given as so how this system will supposedly determine truth. Just vague pointing to inapplicable abstracted concepts like scientific method and law.

There is 0% (not rounded down) chance that this system can do its advertised job. It is a censorship tool.
