• Title: Convergences and Divergences in the 2024 Judicial Reform in Mexico: A Neural Network Analysis of Transparency, Judicial Autonomy, and Public Acceptance
• Abstract summary: The study utilizes neural networks to evaluate the 2024 judicial reform in Mexico. It is a proposal designed to overhaul the judicial system by increasing transparency, judicial autonomy, and introducing the popular election of judges. Key areas of convergence include enhanced transparency and judicial autonomy, which are seen as improvements to the system. However, major points of divergence, such as the high costs of implementation and concerns about the legitimacy of electing judges, pose significant challenges.

• Abstract: This study utilizes neural networks to evaluate the 2024 judicial reform in Mexico, a proposal designed to overhaul the judicial system by increasing transparency, judicial autonomy, and introducing the popular election of judges. The neural network model analyzes both converging and diverging factors that influence the reforms viability and public acceptance. Key areas of convergence include enhanced transparency and judicial autonomy, which are seen as improvements to the system. However, major points of divergence, such as the high costs of implementation and concerns about the legitimacy of electing judges, pose significant challenges. By integrating variables like transparency, decision quality, judicial independence, and implementation costs, the model predicts levels of public and professional acceptance of the reform. The neural networks multilayered structure allows for the modeling of complex relationships, offering predictive insights into how the reform may impact the Mexican judicial system. Initial findings suggest that while the reform could strengthen judicial autonomy, the risks of politicizing the judiciary and the financial burden it entails may reduce its overall acceptance. This research highlights the importance of using advanced AI tools to simulate public policy outcomes, providing valuable data to guide lawmakers in refining their proposals.

  We study a specific decision-making task called outcome control in which an automated system aims to optimize an outcome variable $Y$ while being fair and equitable. In this paper, we first analyze through causal lenses the notion of benefit, which captures how much a specific individual would benefit from a positive decision. We then note that the benefit itself may be influenced by the protected attribute, and propose causal tools which can be used to analyze this.

We employ LInCo to explore the inconsistency in real cases and come to the following observations: (1) Both regional and gender inconsistency exist in the legal system, but gender inconsistency is much less than regional inconsistency.
