Description
Summary:Current discussions on the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the courts, also reflected in policymaking, have largely focused on safeguarding fairness, transparency, explainability and human oversight in decision-making, including judicial decisions.

This paper is an attempt to problematise the use of AI in the courts against the backdrop of the (access to) justice crisis in an economy focused on immediacy and a low-cost consumption model.
