I grant you the absurdity of enforcing all laws with machines/computers/robots. I don't think I was as clear as intended. But I do feel that there are plenty of processes and certain law domains that are equally absurd when you make humans enforce them. These would be things like financial regulation, taxes, immigration maybe? Domains where our nuance, context, and consideration (read: bias) can actually prevent and corrupt the enforcement of these laws. Now granted, this depends on the availability of data infrastructure among other things, but if I could clarify the question, I'm thinking about what lessons learned and processes from software development can bring about efficiencies in government that we haven't considered yet. Not some type of absolute computer takeover of government.
