Description: Judicial bias refers to the influence of prejudices, stereotypes, or personal beliefs on decisions made by judges and magistrates. This phenomenon can manifest in various ways, affecting the impartiality and fairness of the judicial system. The presence of bias in judicial decisions can be exacerbated by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which, if not designed and trained properly, can perpetuate or even amplify these biases. The ethics of applying AI in the judicial field is a growing concern, as automated decisions can have a significant impact on people’s lives, from sentencing to granting parole. Identifying and mitigating judicial bias is crucial to ensuring a fair and equitable justice system, where all individuals are treated impartially, regardless of their background, gender, or socioeconomic status. The discussion of judicial bias also raises questions about accountability and transparency in the use of AI, as well as the need for human oversight in automated decision-making processes.
