Inteligência artificial a serviço do poder judiciário

Abstract

In the context of growing contemporary digitalization, various technologies have emerged, most notably artificial intelligence (AI). In the legal sphere, AI has promoted significant changes, evidenced by the adoption of electronic processing in 80% of judicial proceedings in Brazil. This study aims to analyze the implementation of AI in the Brazilian judiciary, addressing associated terminology, legal and ethical consequences, advantages and disadvantages, and identifying opportunities for optimization. A mixed methodology was used, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches.. The research involved a systematic review of the literature, through consultation of renowned databases, using advanced algorithms and logical operators, as well as a survey of AI applications already used by Brazilian Courts. Unlike countries such as the USA and the UK, which have already made progress in integrating AI into the legal sector, Brazil has a significant gap in research in this area, giving this study relevance and uniqueness in the national scenario. AI has shown potential in analyzing large volumes of information and recognizing patterns, optimizing legal processes. However, ethical and practical concerns are emerging, with an emphasis on the transparency of algorithms, risks of bias in data and guaranteeing fundamental rights. The implementation of AI in the legal sector faces challenges, especially in replicating human nuances, ethical discernment and interpretations. This study contributes to the understanding of the interaction between AI and the judicial system, highlighting the complexity of its implementation and the challenges inherent in replacing human functions with machines. The research serves as a basis for future discussions on the balanced integration of AI in the legal field, considering ethical and practical aspects.
