Playing devils advocate I'd say that the main problem with employing AI would be that it will how bad decisions humans make. This is exactly the kind of case where computers, just relying on hard data would do much better than humans. The article complains that AI is a black box for the defendant. How is this any different from judge's brain? You can't peek into his mind to figure out what is behind the decision. Judge can give some justifications, but you won't know if those are the real reasons or if the decision is just mostly based on defendants skin color, socioeconomic background or clothing.
