Robotic Judges: A Future to Desire or Not?

Abraham Tamir

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal system has led to the emergence of the concept of robot judges, which has generated a great deal of debate and discussion. This article examines the potential advantages and disadvantages of using robot judges in the legal system. The article first explores the potential benefits of robot judges, including their ability to provide impartial and consistent judgments, work at a faster pace, and remove the potential for human error. The article then examines the drawbacks of using robot judges, including the potential for programming bias, the risk of depersonalizing the judicial process, and the loss of human empathy and intuition. The article concludes that while robot judges offer certain benefits, their use must be carefully considered in light of their potential drawbacks and the ethical considerations surrounding the delegation of such an important role to machines.
