Artificial Intelligence is currently playing a significant role in our everyday life. Whether we're trying to classify plant species, Netflix viewing preferences or mortgage suitability, we depend on AI to handle it all for us.

According to Wired, the Estonian Ministry of Justice has officially asked the country's chief data officer, Ott Velsberg, to design a robot judge.
