Eric Filiol, Risks concerning the use of so-called predictive algorithms in the sensitive field of justice
The use of predictive techniques in the justice process, with the development of data analysis (machine learning, big data) techniques, is considered not only as a necessary evolution but also as a revolution that would optimize and rationalize the management of the litigant. This article aims at explaining to what extent this evolution carries risks, what are the stakes, some of which are important, and above all why it is illusory to expect something positive for judicial proceedings.
