Description

In "Machine Judgment and Justice: Ethical Challenges in AI Governance", Dr. Mahir Muharemović confronts a pivotal question: Can—and should—Artificial Intelligence govern? This paper explores AI's transformative role in law and governance by first tracing the historical and philosophical foundations of the modern state and justice. It examines how human institutions, laws, and the balance of power evolved to protect rights. The book then assesses AI's potential to enhance governance through improved consistency, efficiency, and legal access. However, Dr. Muharemović also warns of significant constraints: AI system opacity, challenges in value alignment, risks of data-driven bias, and threats to procedural justice and public accountability. These tensions are highlighted through a unique experiment where large language models make governance decisions, revealing surprising democratic or autocratic tendencies based on their design. The book strongly argues that AI must not replace the human-centric frameworks safeguarding justice. Instead, AI should be integrated carefully within these structures, subject to human judgment, oversight, and democratic deliberation. "Machine Judgment and Justice: Ethical Challenges in AI Governance" champions the truth that sovereignty must remain with human societies. This is an indispensable read for anyone concerned with the future of law, governance, and humanity in an increasingly AI dominated world.
