AI in the courts

Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be catching the attention of a large section of people, no doubt because of the infinite possibilities it offers. It assimilates, contributes as well as poses challenges to almost all disciplines including philosophy, cognitive science, economics, law, and the social sciences. AI and Machine Learning (ML) have a multiplier effect on increasing the efficiency of any system or industry. If used effectively, it can bring about incremental changes and transform the ecosystem of several sectors. However, before applying such technology, it is important to identify the problems and the challenges within each sector and develop the specific modalities on how the AI architecture will have the highest impact. In the justice delivery system, there are multiple spaces where the AI application can have a deep impact.
