ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

Abstract

The subject of the research is digital innovations in the field of criminal justice. The author sets out tasks in the form of an analysis of the potential of artificial intelligence technologies to optimize criminal proceedings in the consideration and resolution of criminal cases on the merits. The study uses comparative legal and formal legal methods, as well as the method of legal modeling. As a result, the possibilities and risks of using artificial intelligence to predict court decisions, analyze evidence, and evaluate the activities of judges and court staff have been identified. It has been established that technologies can increase efficiency, but require legal guarantees to eliminate algorithmic biases and preserve the independence of judicial evaluation. The study defines criteria for the acceptable use of artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool that does not replace the humanistic foundations of justice. The conclusion is formulated that the introduction of artificial intelligence into criminal proceedings is advisable provided that detailed legislative regulations are developed.
