The adoption of AI across justice systems
can increase the effectiveness of judicial
services for citizens, facilitate better
access to justice, and decrease costs.
Along with the many benefits of AI
adoption in the justice context, this
module will present the associated risks
and demonstrate how judicial operators
can assess the benefits and risks of AI
adoption. Next, it will focus on examples
of responsible AI adoption in justice
contexts.
Examples include AI’s application for civil
and criminal investigations (i.e. risk
assessment, docket management, case
management, jury selection, contract
review, electronic discovery, legal
research) and law enforcement (i.e.
digital evidence, facial recognition,
predictive policing). It will conclude with
a discussion on the potential of AI for the
Supreme Court of India and different
opportunities and risks for the country’s
judicial system.
