Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The chapter gives an overview of how artificial intelligence (AI) is used and can be used in judicial decision-making, presents the risks this use entails, and proposes how judges can address those risks. It first explores whether and to what extent judicial functions may be replaced by AI. It then explains the importance of people’s automation bias in determining appropriate levels of trust towards AI. Then, it addresses how judges can respond to algorithmic biases, which have important consequences on their decisions’ accuracy and for potential discrimination. Finally, it examines how judges can address algorithmic opacity, which has consequences for procedural fairness and the role of private interests during trial.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
