Trial by AI – how far will artificial intelligence reshape our legal systems?

According to information published on the www.techradar.com page.

With AI’s development on a seemingly unstoppable trajectory, we’re increasingly being asked to consider a) how the technology will transform our lives and b) how much should we let it? It’s a debate with little consensus but which permeates almost every aspect of society. The law is not immune. Many in the legal world are starting to question AI’s role within the sector and if it could even replace lawyers and judges. At the very least, it could make the legal system more efficient and enable the judicial process to record more accurate, fairer decisions.

How could AI influence our justice systems?

On first examination, there’s certainly potential for AI to create a less biased justice system. Just as 94-96% of car accidents are caused by human error, the history of criminal law is replete with miscarriages of justice. The list is long – from the recent Post Office scandal in the UK and a wasted decade of Libor prosecutions in the US, to wrongful Death Row executions, the Birmingham six and Andrew Malkinson. Clearly, the criminal justice system does not truly work for all.
