The human element will never be and should never be removed, as grade is in part aesthetic and a matter of taste, and the human eye is a sophisticated scientific instrument. Also, what rules and weights (is centereing or color or edges most important, etc., 85/15 versus 80/20 for a grade, etc) are used to determine grade is subjective and that will never be unanimously or objectively answered.
However, automated and AI stuff would be excellent for consistency and for enforcing the rules.
I also know that AI will eventually be able to identify individual cards, such as a card that has been resubmitted.
