【财联社专讯】近日，美国第17任首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨在年度工作报告中指出，人工智能（AI）技术正逐渐渗透并深刻影响着美国法院的运作模式，预示着司法行业的数字化转型已经来临。他强调，AI将在诸多方面重塑法院工作流程，例如辅助法律研究、智能分析证据、优化案件管理等方面发挥重要作用，提高审判效率与精准度。
然而，罗伯茨同时也明确表示，尽管AI技术的发展为法院带来了前所未有的变革，但它并不能完全取代人类法官在司法决策中的核心角色。因为判决涉及对复杂社会关系、道德伦理及人性判断的理解与权衡，这些都超越了现有AI的能力范畴，需要人类基于丰富的经验和专业知识进行独立思考和判断。
因此，在可预见的未来，“一段时间”内，人类法官仍将作为法律裁决过程中的主导力量，而AI技术则更多地作为有力的助手和赋能者，共同推动美国法院迈向更加高效、公正且科技化的新时代。
英语如下：
Headline: “Chief Justice Roberts Forecasts: AI ReshapesCourts, Human Judges Still Indispensable for the Time Being”
Keywords: AI Transformation, Judicial Functioning, Human Judges’ Unavoidable Role
News Content: 【Caixin Media Exclusive】Recently, in his annual work report, the 17th Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts Jr., has pointed out that artificial intelligence (AI) technology is gradually infiltrating and profoundly impacting the operational models of U.S. courts, signaling the advent of the digital transformation era in the legal sector. He emphasized that AI will significantly reshape court workflows across various dimensions, such as assisting in legal research, intelligently analyzing evidence, and optimizing case management, thereby enhancing审判 efficiency and precision.
However, Roberts also clearly stated that while the development of AI technology brings unprecedented变革 to the judiciary, it cannot fully replace the core role of human judges in judicial decision-making processes. This is because judgments involve understanding and weighing complex social relationships, moral ethics, and assessments of human nature, which transcend the current capabilities of AI systems and require human beings with rich experience and professional knowledge to engage in independent thinking and judgment.
Therefore, in the foreseeable future, “for a period,” human judges will continue to serve as the dominant force in the legal decision-making process, while AI technology will more often function as a powerful assistant and enabler, collectively propelling the U.S. judiciary towards a more efficient, just, and technologically advanced new age.
