Abstract
This research on AI and the Courts began over three years ago and I did my first presentation to female judges at an international conference in New York. I demonstrate the dilemmatic implications of AI on litigation, especially criminal trials, and the criminal justice system. I collected data from judges in attendance, and the findings confirmed my hypothesis. Part B research was conducted at a conference of court administrators in Singapore. I am in the process of collating that data to finalize the results. Therefore, my study discusses the research findings and AI’s impacts on court proceedings. In applying the collated data, I propose my unique socio-judicialism theory for implementing AI in courts. The over-reliance on AI is a socio-judicial threat to justice (humane justice), judicial integrity, society, and democratic development. Although AI will solve administrative problems in the court system, ensure a level of transparency, ensure speedy trials, or support a fair and speedy judicial system, the court’s reliance or over-reliance on AI is likely to cause more harm than good to the system and society in the long term. So, implementing AI in the court system, although valuable to justice delivery will create social and judicial problems, especially in the criminal justice system. I applied an empirical methodology with anonymous questionnaires to judges and other court administrators. The outcome of Part A is the Part B research in Singapore. Part C research will be shared at the conference.
