Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising technology capable of revolutionizing the judicial system by improving decision-making processes and reducing human biases. This manuscript explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the judicial domain. It discusses the existing works in AI for predictive analytics, document analysis, and automated case management, in terms of methodologies and qualitative metrics used in each application. The manuscript also acknowledges the benefits, challenges, and solutions associated with incorporating AI into the judicial domain. These include the need for transparency and explainability in AI algorithms, and the ethical issues surrounding bias and privacy.

Understanding Ai In The Judicial Domain

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary discipline that incorporates a wide variety of technologies and methodologies designed to enable machines to mimic human cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning, and decision making (Russell et al.. AI-driven decision making in the judicial domain refers to the use of AI technologies and techniques to aid judges, attorneys, and legal professionals in their decision-making processes. It utilizes the power of computational algorithms, data analysis, and machine learning to augment human judgement and improve the efficiency and efficacy of the judicial system.

To understand the scope of AI applications in the judicial realm, it is critical to investigate the key AI technologies and methodologies relevant to this discipline. Predictive analytics is a key technology that uses past data and statistical models to predict future results. Predictive analytics can assist in predicting case outcomes, identify patterns and trends, and supporting judges in making well-informed decisions based on the likelihood of similar scenarios.

In the judicial domain, AI also demonstrates its capabilities in the area of document analysis. AI-powered document analysis tools analyze and extract relevant information from judicial documents, such as judgments, using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms (Raghav et al., 2016). These tools can assist legal professionals with legal research, case preparation, and information retrieval, saving time and effort.
