NSTnation Sabah court to make history on Wednesday by using AI in sentencing

Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri David Wong said the application of AI by a magistrate would be the first time in Asia.“This is the first in Asia. From my knowledge, there is no other judiciary using AI except in the United States. It is a big step for the Malaysian judiciary,” he said, adding that the event on Wednesday would be his last before retirement.

On Jan 17, Wong had said the Sabah and Sarawak judiciary would take the first step in embracing AI by getting a machine to assist judicial officers in determining appropriate sentences for certain criminal offences.He had also revealed that the usage of AI will only act as a guideline to judicial officers in coming to his or her decision.

The application will analyse data for those offences gathered from cases registered in Sabah and Sarawak from 2014 to 2019.“The area of the law is still quite new. The more knowledge they have , the more equipped they will be when cases come up.”
