ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Automated analysis of court decisions, scales and standardization of the justice system are leading many companies to offer "predictive justice" tools. In the United States, for example, a company claims to calculate the risk of recidivism, in order to determine a prison sentence. In France, a company indicates, in advance, the amount of compensation expected in the event of a personal injury accident. These tools aim to predict the outcome of a trial; they rely on a probability calculation based on previous court rulings, betting on the fact that the judge will tend to repeat his own decisions. So, if an algorithm can predict the outcome of a dispute, why not replace the judge with a machine? After an analysis of technological advances in this field, we'll look at their potential, but also their risks and limits. Isn't "robotized" justice ultimately synonymous with inhuman justice?
