AI-powered JUDGE created in Estonia will settle small court claims of up to £6,000 to free up professionals to work on bigger and more important cases
It will be fed legal documents and analyse them before coming to a decision
The ruling would be legally binding but could be appealed to a human judge
Would preside over disputes of less than €7,000 (£6,000/$8,000)
Programme is still in its infancy and advice and improvements from legal professionals will inform and refine the technology
Estonia is building an artificial intelligence powered robo-judge that will rule over a backlog of small court cases.
It will be fed legal documents and analyse them before coming to a decision based on its pre-programmed algorithms and training.
The 'robot judge' would preside over disputes of less than €7,000 (£6,000/$8,000) and free up more time for humans to work on bigger cases.
Any ruling would be legally binding but could be appealed to a human judge.
The project and technology is still in its infancy and no set date has been announced for its roll-out, but the larger AI project it is part of will announce its results in May.
Estonia is leading the way in embracing technology and digitising despite having only 1.4 million citizens.
Details and protocols are still being thrashed out by its developers and revisions would likely be made following advice from legal professionals.
Ott Velsberg, the country's chief data officer, told Wired: 'We want the government to be as lean as possible.'
Mr Velsberg is currently completing his PhD at Sweden's Umeå University on the use of AI in government services.
He said: 'Some people worry that if we lower the number of civil employees, the quality of service will suffer. But the AI agent will help us.
Estonia is well placed for embracing robotics as it already employs a national ID card system, e-voting and digital tax filing.
The country's economic ministry is also considering granting AI and robots a legal status that would make them 'robot agents'.
It would sit somewhere between having a 'separate legal personality', like a corporation, and being an object that is someone else's 'personal property'.
The legislation could help determine who is responsible when AI-controlled vehicles or machinery are involved in an accident.
Siim Sikkut, the official in charge of the government's IT strategy, said the move would come with several advantages.
