On March 15, 2016, after 5 h of competing, the world chess champion Lee Sedol was defeated by AlphaGo, the Google’s computer program. The result of the human–machine competition has overturned the world’s perception of AI, which marked a new era for the development of artificial intelligence. It is a powerful force, a new form of smart agency, which is already reshaping our lives, our interactions, and our environments [3]. With the advent of AI and its diverse applications, China has been implementing the combination of modern science and technology with its judicial system reform by building up the development of AI as a national strategy. Since we all agree that “the delay of justice is the denial of justice, the development of media technology in courtroom, which facilitates the conduct in legal proceedings, undoubtedly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness in justice” [1]. With the aid of technologies like AI and the possibilities provided by the multimodal way of approach in facilitating the legal process, in early 2014, China’s judiciary launched a profound reform of the judicial system and Shanghai High People’s Court was set up as the pilot to undertake the mission so as to create an applicable and replicable “Shanghai Experience” for the national and international judicial system reform.

the "206 System" (AI Assistive System for Criminal Cases in Shanghai or Trial-centered Litigation Reform Software), especially the version 3.0 (“Shanghai Intelligent Assertive Case-handling System for Criminal Cases”), with the aim to solve judicial problems, avoid the occurrence of cases in which people are unjustly, falsely, or wrongly charged or sentenced, and finally realize fairness and justice. Looking at its definition, artificial intelligence is “to study how to make computers do intelligent work that only people can do in the past”, as professor Winston of the MIT proposed (p.6). To some extent, AI can simulate, extend and even expand human intelligence and free human beings in many working and daily scenar
