Use of AI Technologies in Dispute Resolution at the Pre-Trial Stage and in Court Proceedings
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, Litigation, Efficiency, Doubt, DecisionAbstract
Considering the orientation of the sphere of legal proceedings, the processes of digitalization and intellectualization create new difficulties for the subjects of procedural decision-making, which is based on the factor of doubt. Doubt allows filtering out disputable information or initiating further information search. The use of AI in legal procedures adds an element of doubt to their effectiveness: a decision maker aiming to resolve a dispute may accept the AI system’s suggestion or only consider it, which implies further verification. The study analyzes the directions and problematic points related to the integration of AI technology in judicial and expert activities of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, including the problems of presenting the output in the interface, the limits of error tolerance, AI independence, etc.
