Prove di giustizia predittiva in Italia

This work, starting from the definition of predictive justice, aims to assess the current state of institutional predictive justice projects concerning Italian law. In particular, it highlights the terminological issues surrounding the concept of predictive justice in Italian legal literature over the past decade, which tends to use the term with excessive breadth. Secondly, the paper underscores the connections – now taken for granted yet originally accidental – between predictive justice and artificial intelligence, without excluding the hypothesis, absurd but not impossible, of an analog predictive justice. Lastly, it examines the Italian projects on predictive justice, underlining not only the insufficiency of the results achieved so far, but also the misclassification of some of them within the domain of predictive justice.
