'The Trial' by Ian Stuart Black

On Medusa, Liz is forced to treat her colleague, Rudi, as an inferior so that she can win the confidence of their captors; she then makes plans to obtain a spaceship in which she and Rudi can escape. Meanwhile, Rudi is caught attempting to steal Medusan security secrets, and placed on trial before a jury of computers. Found guilty by the machines, Rudi is sentenced to work on the barren surface of Medusa as part of a slave workforce…
