There is growing interest in whether an “ai” or, artificial intelligence judge can make better rulings than a human one.
This is understandable as many legal decisions are either wrong or flawed in some critical way.

Down in the trial courts where legal arguments start, many of the facts of a case get ignored by the court, or never get a fair hearing because they are denied on technical grounds, or from favoritism, or corruption.
Critical facts are also not discovered or recognized due to human error, or lack of relevant subject competence.
