Feasibility Analysis of the Jurisprudential and Legal Use of Artificial Intelligence as a Means of Evidence in Civil and Criminal Proceedings
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, smart litigation, digital evidence, new technologies, digital lawAbstract
With the significant advances in modern technologies, particularly in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the potential application of this technology in various legal and judicial arenas is rapidly expanding. Artificial Intelligence, as a novel tool, can play a crucial role in the analysis and substantiation of claims. This study explores the use of AI in evidentiary procedures, especially in the context of digital evidence, big data analysis, and the simulation of legal reasoning. One of the main objectives of this research is to identify the diverse applications of Artificial Intelligence within judicial systems. Specifically, in litigation and evidentiary processes, AI can provide substantial assistance to legal practitioners and judges through rapid and precise data processing in the analysis of various types of evidence. Among its applications are the identification of behavioral patterns in similar cases, the classification of documents and records, the analysis of digital data and electronic evidence, and the simulation of legal argumentation. Additionally, the use of AI in predicting judicial decisions based on similar precedents may enhance both the accuracy and speed of judicial procedures. The significance of this research lies in the fact that AI, in addition to improving the precision and speed of adjudicating disputes, may also contribute to the reduction of litigation costs and the enhancement of transparency in judicial decisions. Nonetheless, challenges such as ethical concerns, privacy protection, and technical limitations in implementing this technology must be carefully considered. Ultimately, it appears that the use of Artificial Intelligence in evidentiary processes—provided that appropriate principles and regulations are observed—can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the judicial system.
