It's AI ... transcribing hearings. It makes fewer errors transcribing the hearings.
It's not actually AI involved in the judicial process.
Judges tend to be very strange people. The profession selects for lawyers who either can't hack it in biglaw or private practice, or willingly take a tremendous pay-cut in exchange for having people kiss their ass every day. And ultimately they are at least as corruptible and as mercurial as the average person -- or worse, and sometimes far worse.
A panel of AI judges (different models, etc.) would be infinitely preferable to any human judge. It would reach correct decisions more frequently, wouldn't care about Christmas gifts or next weekend's golf trip with the Assistant US Attorney, etc...
