Predictive Justice and Algorithmic Contracting — Pascal Pichonnaz

In this episode of Monday Bagel, I speak with Professor Pascal Pichonnaz, President of the European Law Institute and Professor of Law at the University of Fribourg. We discuss two closely connected topics at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. The first is predictive justice. We explore how AI systems are used to predict judicial outcomes, why consistency does not necessarily mean accuracy, and what risks arise when algorithmic outputs begin to resemble judicial decisions. The conversation addresses bias in training data, anchoring effects, and the limits of using AI to support judicial reasoning. The second topic is algorithmic contracting. Professor Pichonnaz explains the European Law Institute’s work on digital assistants that conclude contracts on behalf of users. We discuss consumer autonomy, consent, attribution of decisions made by AI systems, reasonable expectations, and the alignment of algorithmic contracting with fundamental rights under European law. Throughout the episode, we reflect on trust in judicial systems, the right to a reasoned decision under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and the proper role of AI in courts and contracts.
