Artificial Intelligence (AI), Legal Decision-MakingAbstract
One of the many domains in which artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly present in today's modern society is the process of decision-making within the legal system. the ethical problems that arise when artificial intelligence is used in judicial decision-making. There is a possibility that artificial intelligence will have positive effects, such as increased productivity and reduced human bias; however, there are also potential negative effects associated with it. These include concerns regarding transparency and accountability, as well as the potential for a reduction in human judgement and empathy. When investigating potential ethical implications, we adopt a comprehensive approach, taking into account the perspectives of AI researchers, attorneys, lawmakers, and the general public. the ethical responsibilities of artificial intelligence programmers to produce reliable and accountable software. In addition to this, it explores how legal practitioners might learn to maximise the use of AI tools while maintaining their authoritative decision-making positions without having to give up their positions.
