Creative Judgment Navigates the New

New situations often require a nuanced judgment that relates them to past precedents and existing laws, suggesting that both law and ethics demand creative thinking and interpretative skills. Principles alone cannot dictate actions; one must apply them contextually, using judgment to navigate complexities. This poses skepticism regarding machines' abilities to replicate human-like capacity for judging in legal and moral contexts. A distinction exists between rules, which are precise, and standards, which offer flexibility for interpretation, underlining the intricacies involved in applying these frameworks.
