Chapter 13 in Handbook of Artificial Intelligence at Work, 2024, pp 250-275 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The pervasive growth of AI research and applications is steadily encroaching upon the prerogatives of the legal profession up to the sacrosanct precincts of the judiciary. In harnessing AI potential to streamline and enhance our judicial processes for greater efficiency, AI-powered evidence, legal and judicial analytics transform, with an air of objectivity, the way we understand and apply the law to the point of shaking the very foundations of our rule of law. Machine learning not only tenders demonstrative evidence akin to percipient testimonial aids, but purports to offer a new kind of AI-generated evidentiary and legal data that raise key concerns over preserving judicial independence from AI processing and securing due process in the digital age. A survey of emerging best practices ultimately begs the question as to what extent AI-driven automation should be allowed within our court systems.
