Abstract

This research article delves into the impactful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the criminal justice system, exploring its transformative implications on crime detection, prevention, and adjudication. Examining applications such as predictive policing, automated legal analysis, facial recognition, and sentencing algorithms, the study highlights the potential benefits, including increased efficiency and accuracy. However, ethical concerns surrounding bias, transparency, and privacy necessitate careful consideration. The article underscores the need for a balanced approach to harnessing AI's potential while addressing these ethical challenges. As AI continues to evolve, collaborative efforts among policymakers, legal professionals, and technologists are imperative to ensure responsible implementation, fostering a criminal justice system that is both technologically advanced and ethically sound. The qualitative research methodology has been applied in the following article.
