Would AI in the jury room assist jurors better than the current system of juror questions to balif to judge and back? That might speed up answers. Make better use of time.

I’m thinking a closed AI system that follows court rules, not an open AI system to the world.

all cases are different. Questions from jurors usually pertain to the specific case the court has heard. Someone mentioned that jurors already get some instruction on what they should or shouldn’t consider when deliberating, both in process and in judicial conditions… so any AI program used would have to be fed all of the court transcript to that point to be able to answer nearly all of the questions a jury may come back with. I guess that’s not impossible, but I doubt we are at the point of AI being so trusted that a judge wouldn’t want some oversight in that process anyway.

There is an issue with juries though – we don’t really provide them with enough supports post trial for any trauma they may have experienced. WHile there are some cursory supports, they dont address long term issues. Juries see some shit… and we don’t really account for how it affects them very well.

Agree.
