Abstract

CDC.gov (2020) shows that the coronavirus (COVID-19) has exposed the cost of an unjust law enforcement and judicial system against minorities. Non-Asian minorities, who are usually the poor with health issues, have been the most negatively affected by COVID-19. The aim of this study is to explain through a literature review how virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to enhance social justice in order to eradicate the biases that deny targeted people access to resources or freedom through the judicial system. Research shows that VR is excellent for capturing multi-dimensional and multisensory videos, sounds, and pictures that can help police and judges to conclude exactly what happened. Also, AI can help to match an incident to past cases or use rules of expert systems to predict judgement for new cases, in order for every person to receive the same judgement and sentencing as a white person involved in a similar incident.
