WHEN ALGORITHMS JUDGE Artificial Intelligence, Judicial Power, and the Constitutional Limits of Algorithmic Decision-Making What happens when artificial intelligence moves beyond assisting courts and begins influencing how justice is interpreted, assessed, and delivered? When Algorithms Judge examines one of the most consequential questions emerging at the intersection of artificial intelligence, law, constitutionalism, and judicial power: how far can algorithmic systems participate in judicial decision-making without undermining the principles that make the exercise of judicial power legitimate? As courts and legal institutions increasingly explore artificial intelligence for legal research, case prediction, evidence assessment, sentencing support, dispute resolution, and administrative decision-making, algorithms are becoming part of processes traditionally entrusted to human judges. These technologies may improve efficiency, consistency, and access to legal information, but they also introduce difficult questions concerning transparency, accountability, bias, explainability, privacy, due process, and the right to a reasoned decision. This book explores whether algorithmic decision-making can coexist with foundational constitutional principles such as judicial independence, equality before the law, procedural fairness, separation of powers, and access to just
