法官Ⅴ机器人:人工智能与司法裁判

Judge Ⅴ Robot: Artificial Intelligence and Judicial Decision-Making

随着技术不断改变我们的工作和活动方式,人们预测,人类的许多活动将被新技术替代或支持。随着人类的进步,许多人类活动发生了变化,但最近发生在技术革新背景下的转变却很可能对那些先前基本上不受干扰的人类活动产生更加广泛的影响。在这方面,技术已经在改变着法律实践,并可能诸如通过替代、支持或补充司法职能来重塑审判过程。这样的变化可能会限制人类参与审判的程度,与此同时越来越倾向于使用人工智能来处理较小的民事纠纷以及在更复杂的纠纷中更常规地使用相关技术。

As technology continues to change the way in which we work and function,there are predictions that many aspects of human activity will be replaced or supported by newer technologies.Whilst many human activities have changed over time as a result of human advances,more recent shifts in the context of technological change are likely to have a broader impact on some human functions that have previously been largely undisturbed.In this regard,technology is already changing the practice of law and may for example,reshape the process of judging by either replacing,supporting or supplementing the judicial role.Such changes may limit the extent to which humans are engaged in judging with an increasing emphasis on artificial intelligence to deal with smaller civil disputes and the more routine use of related technologies in more complex disputes.
