Abstract :

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in the legal field today, carrying out processes such as predictive analysis, data interpretation, and decision making. AI is valued for its efficiency and accuracy along with its affordability. However, one problem that arises in the legal field is that AI systems sometimes make flawed decisions, partly because of their inability to recognize human emotions and the fact that they misinterpret data. This is a major drawback because the responsibility of the legal f ield is to make fair and equal decisions that aim at justice. If utilizing AI poses potential threats to maintaining justice and equality, the positive attributes to AI will lose value. This paper argues that there are various tools and features to AI that will benefit and enhance the legal profession despite potential harms that may appear. In addition, the paper will explore key factors that impede an impartial decision-making process and discuss possible solutions to maximize tools to ensure a fair and equitable verdict. My argument is to use and develop tools working alongside AI to ensure impartiality and instill justice in every legal decision. By addressing these challenges, the legal system will be better suited to use AI with equity and justice in mind to its full potential.
