Abstract

This article aims to understand approximations between Law and information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially with regard to artificial intelligence (AI). The current applications of AI in Law are identified, as well as the adequacy implications that artificially intelligent machines find in their insertion path, especially when faced with the hypothesis of replacing the human judge by a robot. Therefore, the guiding thread of the text is the analysis of the possibility of continuing the application of AI in the Judiciary and in the judicial organization policy in a responsible, reliable, safe and without prejudice to ethics and Human Rights. The use of AI as a tool to optimize time for human judges to assess more complex cases and boost their psychological work in each demand is discussed, in contrast to the idea that the continuity of its application reveals losses and deleterious impacts to the legal system. The need is identified, based on international models and established ethical concepts, to build structures and architectures of ethical and principled guidelines, in order to provide adequate creation, development and use of artificial intelligence tools, aiming at robustness guarantees, security, transparency, trust and non-discrimination, based on the principle of human dignity and Human Rights.
