Description
In our next meeting, we will discuss a new article, "Trustworthy AI in Courts: A Legitimacy Analysis" by Andreas Follesdal (Norwegian Centre for Human Rights / TRUST, UiO) and Malcolm Langford (Dept. of Public and International Law / TRUST, UiO), who will also introduce us to the article.
The article explores how theories of legitimate authority can offer some guidance to the debate over the use of AI in courts. The authors identify six forms of delegation to AI in courts (servant, interlocutor, advisor, partner, agent and trustee) and analyse the legitimacy implications for six aspects of adjudication (legal process, inventorising, problem-solving, reasoned judgment, legitimation and discretion).
Participants are strongly encouraged to read the article in advance and to come prepared with questions, comments, and critical reflections, as the session is intended to be discussion-driven.
