L’evoluzione tecnologica e, in particolare, le prospettive d’impiego dell’intelligenza artificiale nell’amministrazione della giustizia pongono nuove sfide al sistema penale, portando gli operatori del diritto a interrogarsi su come l’IA possa influenzare l’iter giudiziario e la natura stessa della decisione. In questo contesto, la giustizia predittiva si configura come una “equazione a due incognite”, dove l’efficienza tecnica si scontra con l’incertezza intrinseca al giudizio umano. Il presente contributo approfondisce, pur senza pretesa di esaustività, le prospettive applicative di strumenti algoritmici nella fase di dosimetria sanzionatoria, evidenziando i limiti dell’apparente neutralità algoritmi-ca rispetto alla complessità emotiva del giudice umano.

Abstract
echnological advancements, particularly the potential use of artificial intelligence in the administration of justice, present new challenges to the criminal justice system, prompting legal professionals to question how AI might influence judicial trial and the very nature of decision-making. In this context, predictive justice presents itself as an “equation with two unknowns,” where technical efficiency clashes with the inherent uncertainty that charac- terizes human judgment. This paper explores, without claiming to be exhaustive, the possible applications of algo- rithmic tools in the sentencing phase, highlighting the limitations of the apparent neutrality of algorithms when compared to the emotional complexity of human judges.Pubblicazioni consigliate
