A. Artificial Intelligence Overview
The programs I am going to discuss today are characterized as “Narrow AI.” Narrow AI stands in contrast to artificial general intelligence, or “AGI.” Still hypothetical, AGI refers to the process by which a program learns how to perform an unspecified range of diverse functions. Narrow AI, on the other hand, refers to the process by which a program learns how to perform a specific, or narrow, task. The program gathers many data points—all of which relate to the relevant task—and processes the...
B. Introduction to AI and Criminal Sentencing Procedure
As mentioned above, AI already pervades many American industries. In the medical field, for example, Medical AI—also known as “black-box medicine”—utilizes data from past patients to more accurately diagnose and treat present patients.And many police departments utilize crime forecasting programs that process past crime information and predict where and how frequently crimes will occur. The legal field has also seen an increase in AI use. Jury consultants employ predictive technology to asses...
C. A Case Study—State v. Loomis
Criminal sentencing AI played a central role in a recent case in the Wisconsin Supreme Court: State v. Loomis. In Loomis, the defendant—alleged to be the driver in a drive-by-shooting—argued that the use of a risk assessment program violated his due process rights because it impermissibly considered his gender and caused him to be sentenced according to group data, rather than according to accuratedata. The majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court ultimately held that it was permissible for th...
A. Bridge from Criminal Sentencing AI
The example of criminal sentencing AI shows how predictive algorithms could be the next tool in the judicial toolbox. In order to understand the role that AI can play in the judicial process, we need to understand why we even have tools in the first place. Many of our tools, for example, guide our interpretation of legal texts. We have textual canons of construction—interpretive devices like the “Presumption of Consistent Usage” and the “Surplusage Canon”—that help us understand what statutor...
B. Bias and Discretion in Judicial Decision-Making
Although it is clear that technology like predictive risk assessments removes judicial discretion, it is less clear whether this removal is beneficial. Judges arrive on the bench with different religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds (though our highest court appears to lack a little diversity when it comes to higher education). Does a jurist’s unique upbringing affect their decision-making? Justice O’Connor did not think so. She once said that at the end of the day, on a legal issue, “a...
We end where we began. Technological growth within the legal field is coming whether we like it or not. Law firms, law enforcement, and some state judges utilize AI programs already. How will this growth affect the future judiciary? Will we see a 61-39 confirmation vote for Jill Watson? Certainly not—that vote isn’t nearly close enough to be realis...
