Project description
The project identifies psychological processes that favour or hinder trust in co-creation with generative AI in different contexts of the legal system. In particular, it examines how different actors (victims, defendants, society) show acceptance of and trust in AI-supported decision-making and which specific needs and perspectives play a role in this.
The project investigates the acceptance of co-creation with AI in three specific contexts of the legal system: judicial judgement, reliability of witness testimony and identification of suspects. These contexts represent different possible applications of co-creation with AI (machine learning, large language models and text-to-image AI).
The results of the project should help to develop best practices for the use of AI in judicial judgement, for witness statements and in the identification of suspects. The project also promotes social discourse on the opportunities and risks of AI in the legal system.
