“Robot judges” without training?
Discussing the implementation of automated decision making systems as savior of overburdened legal decision makers is en vogue. But if employed instead of human decision makers and with rising complexity of legal decision, they face hardly resolvable structural problems and barriers. Dr. Stephan Dreyer and Johannes Schmees explain this by reference to four technical and legal challenges. By that, a differentiated perspective is sought to be established in the emerging discourse with an eye on technical and legal realities.
Dr. Stephan Dreyer is Senior Researcher, Johannes Schmees is Junior Researcher at the Leibniz-Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut. This entry is based on a forthcoming and extensive article which came to being in the context of the interdisciplinary research project “Deciding about, by and together with ADM-Systems.”
