First reported

The Neuron ran this on .

  • A study of 1,559 Pakistani judges found that AI tools combined with targeted training increased the rate at which judges resolved cases by 6.3 percent.
  • Case resolution improved without measurable drops in the quality of written decisions or increases in appeals of those decisions.
  • The experiment was randomized, meaning some judges received the AI plus training while others did not, allowing researchers to isolate the effect.
