Artificial Justice Story
The documentary begins with Artificial intelligence and how it is transforming our lives in various domains, like finding partners or making financial investments. However, it focuses on and puts the spotlight on a critical area in which it has already been introduced: the administration of justice. Artificial Justice aims to showcase how decision-making is accessible through the autonomous operations of algorithms and data science.
Artificial Justice Review
Artificial Justice uses a diverse set of case studies along with several talking heads and experts to address a robust yet dependent system. The only strong argument it highlights is that AI is devoid of any emotions and its decisions are objective, thereby delivering justice without preying on ideological views or gender bias. However, it smartly opposes that even AI cannot be flawless as the technology is developed by someone who uses his own programmed values. Thus, effecting its decisions in one way or the other.
Several justice and judicial systems are using AI chatbots and technical advancements to predict criminal offenders’ future acts or to assist them in rulings, but all this is not free of risks. The documentary reflects on the process of automation by bridging the gap between where we are and where we wish to go.
The latest documentary on DocuBay highlights the dangers of AI from an expert perspective and their fact-checking. It sheds light on various arguments, like judicial rationality as a deep-rooted problem in this new age of digital colonisation. Although it is informational, it appears to be a tedious approach by churning up facts and data without using any creative visual effects or music. It appears dull and feels like a monotonous effort to shed light on datafications and its process.
Artificial Justice Verdict
The documentary pushes back against the intriguing yet dangerous new technology. However, when dug deeper, it unpacks the reasons why this structured system might actually lead to the destruction of democracy. It poses a critical question: “What makes life worth living?”
But despite all the arguments, the documentary lacks substance and makes you lose interest in it as it fails to give practical instances. It mainly decodes or breaks down the super complicated phenomenon but is hollow without any real examples of the situations or the current scenario of countries using AI for judicial cases.

Although the documentary simplifies the complex idea of data science, it falters due to a loose narrative and execution. Artificial Justice is skippable. One can, rather, choose an optional 2-minute reading on the case studies for judicial systems and AI.
