The Intersection of Al Advancements in Judicial
Systems and Media Trials
Editor's Introduction
Evyta Rosiyanti Ramadhani, University of Jember
In the ever-evolving landscape of jurisprudence, the integration of
technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has become increasingly
prevalent, reshaping the dynamics of judicial proceedings and legal discourse
worldwide. Concurrently, the phenomenon of media trials has gained
momentum, particularly in countries like the United States and the United
Kingdom, where media influence often intersects with legal processes.
When talking about technological advancements, especially in the context
of Artificial Intelligence, we often get caught up in thinking that technology is a
neutral and objective entity.1 Advancements in Al have revolutionized various
aspects of judicial systems, promising efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility.
From case management to legal research and predictive analytics, AI-powered
tools have emerged as indispensable assets for legal professionals. In
adjudication, Al algorithms are increasingly utilized for tasks such as document
analysis, evidence evaluation, and even judicial decision-making in some
contexts.
One of the most notable applications of Al in judicial settings is the
implementation of predictive analytics for case outcomes. By analyzing vast
repositories of legal data, Al algorithms can forecast the potential results of legal
proceedings, aiding judges in assessing risk factors and informing their decisions.
Additionally, AI-driven platforms facilitate the automation of routine legal tasks,
streamlining processes and reducing the burden on judicial resources.
With Al, decision-making can be based on objective and consistent data
analysis, without being influenced by personal emotions or prejudices. However,
on the other hand, critics of Al point out that Al is a technological product that,
while sophisticated, is not equipped with human emotions and intuition. They
argue that emotions, especially compassion, play an important role in legal
decision-making. A human judge can weigh and understand a case's social
