Abstract:

An intelligent judiciary is possible through the gradual integration of artificial intelligence sentencing systems into trial activities, aiming to achieve consistency in sentencing for similar cases. However, beyond the practical level, there are concerns about judicial fairness and ethics; boundaries need to be established. A multifaceted approach is essential, encompassing philosophical, institutional, and technological aspects. At the philosophical level, external expansion of application boundaries should be considered. Institutionally, reasonable limitations on application boundaries are crucial. Technologically, efforts should focus on unlocking the system's potential within the existing boundaries. Furthermore, the application of artificial intelligence sentencing systems should primarily aim to enhance judicial efficiency rather than solely promoting judicial fairness.

Key words: artificial intelligence, sentencing system, judicial fairness, judicial ethics, limits of application
