DESCRIPTION
AI technologies are being integrated into judicial systems at an unprecedented pace, from sentencing prediction and case allocation to evidence analysis. However, this technological empowerment is accompanied by structural contradictions, such as tensions between efficiency and fairness, opacity of algorithmic systems versus institutional transparency, and conflicts in multistakeholder governance.
This session will address the core question: how can AI advance equity and justice while being embedded in judicial processes? Discussions will focus on collaborative configurations of judicial authority, governance frameworks for judicial technologies, and innovative rules for cross-border AI-assisted judicial cooperation. The session aims to resolve paradoxes in judicial AI adoption, drive paradigm shifts in digital justice, and foster transnational collaboration in AI-enabled judicial systems.
