Predictive analytics & judicial decisions
controversy or reality?
Abstract
In this paper, we provide an overview of how Data Analytics, Big Data, and Machine Learning may assist the judicial system by providing insightful information to citizens, police, lawyers, and judges, in a fast and accurate way. We conduct a bidirectional analysis between Law and Predictive Analytics applying the deductive method and bibliographic technique. We report concerns that Law should have with the application of computational techniques in different scenarios, mainly in the judicial system. Finally, we bring forward controversies between these areas, such as the new companies that target the use of personal and sensitive data in Law applications, and how these are potentially hurting fundamental rights and leading to biases in critical systems, wuch as predictive systems for crime recidivism.Downloads
