Can Technology Replace Human Judges?

In my opinion, technology cannot replace human judges in courts; it can only assist judges in providing judgments because law is not just a subject of rules and data but also of justice, equality, and fairness . Decisions require human morality, honesty, and qualities beyond what AI can provide. Judgments cannot be decided solely on past data, as law deals with human lives and values.

In the contemporary world, AI has already begun speeding up tasks such as legal research , Managing case files , scheduling hearings and meetings , analyzing large documents , also works as a data analyst . Keeping in note that all of these are the supporting role which an AI provides  to the judge , to make their work easier and improve consistency.   

The major problem with giving complete authority to an AI judge is that artificial intelligence is trained on past data, including previous judgments. If those judgments contain biases—such as social, class, or gender bias it is quite possible that the AI will reproduce the same biased judgments, affecting a person’s life.

Let us take a hypothetical situation , that we have an AI judge , now if the AI judge gives a wrong judgement  then who will take the accountability for that ? , the programmer ? , the past decisions ? , or the government ? . I think justice requires accountability , which AI cannot provide for now . 

Thus , we can say that AI cannot completely replace human judges , but then can just speed up their work and reduce workload .
