An Egyptian judge has publicly called for strong judicial oversight and clear legal frameworks governing the use of artificial intelligence within Egypt’s legal system. The judge warns that without proper supervision, AI tools in the judiciary could compromise the integrity of legal decisions, individual rights, and public trust.

The statement highlights concerns about transparency, algorithmic bias, and the risk of delegating core judicial functions to automated systems without sufficient human review. The judge urges lawmakers and the judiciary to collaborate in setting rules that ensure AI supports justice while safeguarding due process and legal accountability.

The move comes as Egypt and other countries experiment with digital transformation in their courts, balancing innovation with the essential role of judicial authority in maintaining fairness and legitimacy in legal proceedings.
