As courts modernise procedures and information systems, AI tools are increasingly introduced to support judicial work, case management, evidence analysis and access to legal information. These technologies can strengthen efficiency, consistency and access to justice. Yet they also raise fundamental questions about fairness, due process, transparency, explainability, and accountability. The course will address the following questions, and many more: - How should judges assess algorithmic outputs presented in court? - What safeguards are needed to prevent bias or over-reliance on automated systems? - How can courts adopt innovation while preserving independence and public trust? Developed in partnership with UNESCO, this course provides a human rights-based framework for understanding AI’s impact on justice systems and safeguarding the rule of law.
