Given recent high profile redaction events, I think one simple use of AI would be to have it redact documents according to an objective standard.

That should in theory prevent overly redacted documents for political purposes.

An approach that could be rolled out today would be redacting with human review, but showing what % of redactions the AI would have done, and also showing the prompt given to the AI to perform redactions.

Honestly, it doesn't take any inference or need for AI, there's simply data in the documents that can be extracted.

I don't think the commentor above is saying that an AI should necessarily apply the redaction. Rather, an AI can serve as an objective-ish way of determining what should be redacted. This seems somewhat analogous to how (non-AI) models can we used to evaluate how gerrymandered a map is
