JUDGES VS. ALGORITHMS: THE FUTURE OF JUSTICE AND AI’S CHALLENGE TO INDONESIA’S COURTS
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligent, Legal-tech, Psychological well-being.Abstract
This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Indonesian judicial system, focusing on its potential to enhance the quality and consistency of legal judgments. As legal-tech adaptation becomes essential in a rapidly evolving landscape, the article examines current innovations introduced by the Supreme Court of Indonesia, such as the E-Court application and AI-based tools such as Smart Majelis and Diktum and comparing legal-tech AI other countries. This research used normative legal methodology, the analysis draws upon a comprehensive review of secondary sources, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. It highlights the differences between AI-based applications, which can learn and adapt, and non-AI applications, which operate on fixed rules. The proposed future models, including SCC Intelligent and Voluntary Intelligent based on Positives Wetterlijk Theory, aim to streamline judicial processes and improve accessibility for users. Additionally, the article discusses the psychological well-being of judges, emphasizing strategies to mitigate stress through reduced face-to-face interactions and virtual hearings. By leveraging AI's analytical capabilities, the judicial system can reduce cognitive biases and ensure a more consistent application of legal norms. Ultimately, the article asserts that AI serves as a supportive tool to enhance judicial effectiveness without replacing the essential role of judges, promoting a fair and equitable legal environment.
