‘Artificial intelligence is beginning to shape the criminal justice system, but scholars have largely overlooked its impact on prosecutors—the system’s most powerful actors. This gap is significant because large language models are particularly well-suited to legal work, where analysis and writing are central. Companies now market AI tools that prepare “a first draft of potential charges” and legal memos, promising to “turn 1 day” of work “into 1 hour.” With heavy caseloads and few guardrails, prosecutors may be quick to adopt them, and some offices already report using AI to draft charging documents and analyze evidence.’
