The first collective work devoted exclusively to the ethical and penal theoretical considerations of the use of artificial intelligence at sentencing
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. Sentencing and Artificial Intelligence 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. Dealing with a wide-range of pertinent issues including the transparency of algorithmic-based decision-making, the fairness and morality of algorithmic sentencing decisions, and potential discrimination as a result of these practices, this volume offers avaluable insight on the future of sentencing.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This book includes several interesting studies and cases from the US on the use of AI in sentencing ... How far we will go to embrace AI in sentencing remains to be seen. This volume highlights the importance of critical assessment before further adoption. * Kitan Ososami, The Gazette * In Sentencing and Artificial Intelligence, they have curated a powerful and compelling collection of essays on the application of a new technology to an old problem [...] Ryberg and Roberts succeed admirably * Aziz Z. Huq, Frank and Bernice J. Greenberg Professor of Law, The University of Chicago, Criminal Justice Ethics * [A] brilliant volume [...] timely, readable and authoritative contributions on a contemporary issue spanning ethics and justice * R.
