"The Brazilian supreme court announced in 2018 that an AI system called Victor was being tested in order to speed up court decisions, says de Araujo."

"Currently, the court may take as many as ten years to settle a dispute. Many citizens die before they can obtain the benefits of a favourable decision." 

"[…] Technology has the potential to play a major role in improving legal services in Brazil, but de Araujo believes that algorithmic bias needs to be accounted for." 

"There has not been much public discussion on how Victor is supposed to deal with algorithmic bias. Speeding up court decisions would be a huge improvement in the Brazilian legal system. But quicker decisions will not promote justice for ordinary citizens unless unjust patterns of decision-making in the past are also avoided in the future. For now, it is unclear how the Supreme Court intends to address this issue, says de Araujo."
