Future research should continue to examine the impact of AI on fundamental procedural rights in criminal justice. Studies should investigate the development of regulatory frameworks to ensure that AI is used in a way that enhances human adjudication, rather than substituting it. Research should also explore the potential for AI to enhance efficiency and accuracy in criminal justice, while minimizing the risk of systemic bias and ensuring transparency and accountability.
