This book examines whether artificial intelligence can meaningfully substitute for the jury as the principal fact-finder in the American legal system. Rather than treating the question primarily as a constitutional issue governed by the Sixth and Seventh Amendments, the book approaches it as a problem of epistemology and institutional design: what cognitive and normative tasks does the jury actually perform when it renders a verdict, and can those tasks be replicated by computational systems? Drawing on scholarship in legal epistemology, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence, the book argues that the jury is not merely an evidence-weighing mechanism but an epistemic institution that integrates credibility assessments, narrative reasoning, and community moral judgment into authoritative determinations of legally sufficient truth under conditions of uncertainty. Jury verdicts emerge from a collective process of human interpretation structured by adversarial procedure, evidentiary rules, and deliberation-features that reflect the legal system's recognition that fact-finding in trials is fundamentally interpretive and normative rather than purely computational.
