Chris Pratt plays a detective put on trial by an A.I. judge for his wife’s murder in his new flick, “Mercy” … and he’s now sounding off on whether the real-life justice system could actually go that high-tech too.

We caught up with the Hollywood star in NYC Tuesday … and when we asked if the way things are going means more artificial intelligence could start taking over in courtrooms, he made it crystal clear — he seriously hopes not.

Catch the clip … ’cause Chris doesn’t give a straight yes-or-no as far as an official A.I. takeover … but he does point out we’re already using way more artificial intelligence in our everyday lives than we even realize.
