Many questions arise in this field. In particular, by focusing on current and planned future developments at European and national level, the seminar aimed to open a debate on some crucial aspects of jurisdiction and the rule of law.
Among the issues that has been addressed:
- AI as an instrument for assessing how judge's do justice Learning, evaluating and monitoring how justice is implemented. Judges generally do not like this but from a public service perspective algorithms and AI allow for photographing how justice is being done and learn potential biases and rooms for improvement.
- Algorithms as instruments and initiatives - eventually already implemented - of automatization for assisting in standard proceedings. Particularly in the context of mass litigation some proceedings allow for some automatization - personal fresh start proceedings, organizing dockets
- AI instruments for fastening and helping judges Assisted reading, assisted writing tools, elaboration of template cases, predictive justice based on past case law ...
- Constitutional issues Legitimacy of the use of these instruments, compliance with fundamental rights
- Challenges for judicial decision making when judging decisions totally or partially adopted by algorithms and AI
- The uses of AI in the judicial system for purposes other than predictive justice Supporting the judge's activity, organising the judge's activity, producing the judicial decision, even if subject to the judge's final validation, etc.
