I hope AI can assist in the knowledge gathering phases, and for civil cases I think it can be a huge value add. For criminal cases though: the current judicial system is wayy too punitive. And an AI that would apply the letter of the law would likely criminalize society even more than what has already happened so far. One happy scenario would be if the laws were more responsive and were changed to not be so punitive since the AI would have a high rate of conviction. But then, you might have other failure scenarios. Rich people buying AI programmers and hackers to mess with the system. Its a constant game of outsmarting the latest tech.
