Künstliche Intelligenz in der Strafrechtspflege

"Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Justice – A Critical Reflection on the Digital Paradigm" offers a comprehensive introduction and thirteen essays written by students, exploring the potential impacts of using AI in law enforcement. Why consider digitalization in a field that is perhaps more than any other shaped by traditional legal principles and human judgment? This book provides explanations, analyses, and visions for the future, aiming to stimulate the necessary debate about the use of AI systems in the legal domain. It is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand, teach, or discuss the opportunities and risks of this new technology for our legal system through a concrete example.
The introduction explains what AI can and cannot do, and why its use in criminal justice serves as a prime example of the shift toward data- and algorithm-driven, automated decision-making processes. It outlines the areas of application that serve as starting points for the critical reflections found in the student-authored essays.
