Algorithms can reduce human bias in legal decision-making

Evidence

Technology can free people to focus on decisions that require judgment, and it can make decisions free of the foibles and biases that creep into human judgment. In this chapter, we will discuss the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and algorithms can aid decision-making in the legal system. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 1140
