Abstract

In the developmental dilemma of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted judicial decision-making, the technicalarchitecture of AI determines its inherent lack of transparency and interpretability, which is challenging to fundamentallyimprove. This can be considered a true challenge in the realm of AI-assisted judicial decision-making. By examining thecourt’s acceptance, integration, and trade-offs of AI technology embedded in the judicial field, the exploration of potentialconflicts, interactions, and even mutual shaping between the two will not only reshape their conceptual connotations andintellectual boundaries but also strengthen the cognition and re-interpretation of the basic principles and core values of thejudicial trial system.
