Concurrently, the phenomenon of media trials has gained momentum, particularly in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, where media influence often intersects with legal processes. When talking about technological advancements, especially in the context of Artificial Intelligence, we often get caught up in thinking that technology is a neutral and objective entity.1 Advancements in Al have revolutionized various aspects of judicial systems, promising efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility. From case management to legal research and predictive analytics, AI-powered tools have emerged as indispensable assets for legal professionals. In adjudication, Al algorithms are increasingly utilized for tasks such as document analysis, evidence evaluation, and even judicial decision-making in some contexts. One of the most notable applications of Al in judicial settings is the implementation of predictive analytics for case outcomes. By analyzing vast repositories of legal data, Al algorithms can forecast the potential results of legal proceedings, aiding judges in assessing risk factors and informing their decisions. Additionally, AI-driven platforms facilitate the automation of routine legal tasks, streamlining processes and reducing the burden on judicial resources. With Al, decision-making can be based on objective and consistent data analysis, without being influenced by personal emotions or prejudices.

They argue that emotions, especially compassion, play an important role in legal decision-making.
