Justice by humans, assisted by AI
Algorithms have moved from the filing room to the bench. Machine learning, large language models, and online dispute resolution now shape bail, sentencing, and pleadings faster than the law can settle what this means for a fair hearing. Examining five jurisdictions across four continents, 2015–2025—47 statutes and judgments, 142 studies, seven datasets—this article finds three faults. Proprietary models and hidden training data leave the party bo…

The law has not caught up. Grieving practices are being reshaped without public debate, corporate Terms of Service have quietly become the de facto governing rules, and hard questions about personality rights …

Novel MLR-RF-Based Geospatial Techniques
Geostatistical estimation methods rely on experimental variograms that are mostly erratic, leading to subjective model fitting and assuming normal distribution during conditional simulations. In contrast, Machine Learning Algorithms (MLA) are (1) free of such limitations, (2) can incorporate information from multiple sources and therefore emerge with increasing interest in real-time resource estimation and automation. However, MLAs need to be exp…

Impact of Protracted Displacement on Delay in the Diagnosis Associated with Treatment Outcomes
Human displacement is on the rise globally, and the increase in the burden of tuberculosis (TB) is also attributed to migrations worldwide. A significant number of such displacements occur in regions with considerably higher areas of TB burden.
