as a constraint.’ It is also quite rightfully argued that ‘technologies should never

dehumanize justice’ and according to a commentator, whilst the use of computer
43
software in ‘predictive justice’ can be ‘[E]xcellent tools for decision-making whether
judicial or amicable, but they shouldn’t divert us from our common objectives: quality,

human and individualized justice.’ The ‘judicialization’ of arbitration also means that
44
trends or practices adopted in judicial decision-making in the courts would eventually

of AI in the juridical context is taken rather than to spur the industry into a rat race to
develop advanced AI without considering the ramifications.

Prognostication: Britain’s pre-eminent scientist, the late Professor Stephen
Hawking once said, ‘The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end

of the human race.’ Meanwhile, historian Professor Yuval Noah Harari wrote that
45
whilst humans have two types of abilities that is ‘physical’ and ‘cognitive’, AI is now
beginning to outperform humans:

from perfect. They rely on heuristics, shortcuts and outdated circuits adapted
to the African savannah rather than the urban jungle. No wonder that even good

drivers, bankers and lawyers sometimes make stupid mistakes.
