DOI: 10.24031/2226-0781-2019-9-3-61-85
The article presents the study of legal, technical and factual possibilities of engaging artificial
intelligence units in a judicial procedure – as a companion of a judge or a lawyer, as well as
an electronic judge. The author shows the main trends associated with the use of artificial
intelligence in the judicial procedure. The article reveals the concept of artificial intelligence in
the context of its application in the system of civil justice. The author explores the fundamental
possibility and necessity of applying the technologies of artificial intelligence in the civil
proceedings. The advantages and risks of using artificial intelligence are described, due to the
fact that the widespread introduction of technologies of this kind has not yet begun, potential
theoretical aspects of using artificial intelligence, the direction and form of engagement that in
civil, arbitration, administrative, criminal proceedings, as well as in arbitration proceedings is
suggested. The analysis of the problems associated with the definition of applicable laws and
their understanding and interpretation also should be taken into account when developing
and introducing new technologies into the traditional procedure.
Keywords: legal proceedings; litigation; civil procedure; arbitration procedure; artificial
intelligence; “electronic judge”.
