People + LLM as Judge

Making sound judgments in the digital era requires collaboration between people and AI.

Big Data deployment is both an art and a science. Data science is a collaboration between "human and machine”; the human knows the business problem, but the machine can do the grunt work of generating hundreds of thousands of potential useful signals from the data. Language models can be scaled to handle large volumes of data and user interactions. It provides a unified service for deploying, governing, and querying AI models, making it easier to experiment with and production models. 

While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer potential benefits, their application as judges raises significant ethical and practical concerns. So great human decision makers are critical to correct wrongs and improve judgmental skills.

Ethical and Social Risks: LLMs may perpetuate stereotypes and biases present in their training data, leading to discrimination in judgments. This bias can manifest as prejudiced language or the exclusion of content related to individuals outside social norms. The use of AI to assign individuals a "social score" or discriminate based on biometric identifiers is an unacceptable practice, as outlined in the AI Act.

Accuracy and Reliability: LLMs sometimes present false or misleading information as fact, a phenomenon known as "hallucination." Such inaccuracies could lead to unjust or harmful legal outcomes. The AI Act emphasizes that AI should not be used to manipulate or deceive users, as this could lead to risky behavior and serious injury.

Transparency and Accountability: The inner mechanisms of LLMs are highly complex, making it difficult to troubleshoot issues when results go awry. This lack of transparency raises concerns about accountability and the ability to understand and correct errors in judicial decisions.

LLMs can exhibit bias due to several factors:

-Training Data: LLMs are trained on vast amounts of data, and if this data contains stereotypes and biases, the model will likely perpetuate them. For example, an LLM might be more likely to associate certain professions with specific genders if its training data reflects this bias.

-Discrimination: This bias can manifest as prejudiced language or the exclusion of content about people whose identities fall outside social norms.

-Hallucinations: LLMs sometimes present false or misleading information as fact, which can compound the effects of bias if these inaccuracies reinforce stereotypes or discriminatory beliefs.

Big Data deployment is both an art and a science. Making sound judgments in the digital era requires collaboration between people and AI. To ensure fairness and protect individual rights, AI systems must adhere to principles of nondiscrimination and transparency. Using AI in judicial roles requires careful consideration of these ethical implications to prevent potential harm and uphold the principles of justice.
