Summary:Is it morally acceptable to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the determination of sentences on those who have broken the law? If so, how should such algorithms be used - and what are the consequences? Jesper Ryberg and Julian V. Roberts bring together leading experts to answer these questions. This book investigates to what extent, and under which conditions, justice and the social good may be promoted by allocating parts of the most important task of the criminal court - that of determining legal punishment - to computerized sentencing algorithms. The introduction of an AI-based sentencing system could save significant resources and increase consistency across jurisdictions. But it could also reproduce historical biases, decrease transparency in decision-making, and undermine trust in the justice system.
