算法对司法的冲击与应对

The impact of the algorithm on the administration of justice and its countermeasures

算法崛起对司法的影响主要不在于可能会给被告贴标签,亦不在于可能存在算法黑箱导致司法不公,更不在于人工智能取代法官。算法真正的威胁在于可能会对司法造成极大的冲击。在算法加持下,数字鸿沟进一步扩大,导致涉诉双方地位失衡;算法辅助某些网络平台解决纠纷,直接影响司法机关地位;算法抹平专业差距,为舆情操纵司法留下隐患;算法精准预测法官裁判轨迹,为法官套上枷锁。为了更好地应对算法的冲击,未来应当完善司法制度设计保障诉讼平等,扩大司法权威在互联网中影响力,掌握算法权力,及时把控舆论走向,建立防火墙限制对法官进行评价。

The impact of the rise of algorithms on the administration of justice is not that it may label defendants,nor that there may be algorithmic black boxes that lead to judicial injustice,nor that artificial intelligence replaces judges.The real threat to algorithms is that they can have a huge impact on the administration of justice.With algorithm,digital divide widens further,resulting in the imbalance of the status of the two parties involved in the lawsuit.Algorithms assist some network platforms to become important competitors in resolving disputes,directly affects the status of the judiciary.Algorithms erase the professional gap,leaving hidden dangers for the manipulation of the judiciary of public opinion,and algorithms accurately predict the judge’s decision trajectory and sets a shackle for the judge.In order to better cope with the impact of the algorithms.A court should improve its judicial system design to ensure equality of litigation,expand the influence of judicial authority in the Internet,master the power of the algorithm to control public opinion in a timely manner,and establish a firewall to limit the evaluation of judges from the public.
