This article explores the growing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judicial system, examining both the positive and negative implications of AI’s role in legal decision-making. It discusses the transformative potential of AI in streamlining case management, increasing efficiency, and reducing human biases, referencing examples from countries like India, China, and Colombia. However, the article also raises significant concerns about AI’s ability to accurately interpret the law, maintain judicial independence, and be held accountable for its actions. The article advocates for using AI as an assistive tool rather than a substitute for human decision-making in the judiciary, emphasizing the importance of human oversight to ensure fair and ethical legal processes. It concludes that while AI can aid in administrative and procedural tasks, the ultimate responsibility for legal judgments should remain with human judges.
