ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CIVIL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS: LEGAL BOUNDARIES AND PRACTICAL CHALLENGES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the increasingly topical issue of using artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial proceedings from both a legal and practical perspective. Based on an analysis of European and Czech legislation, constitutional principles, and international examples, it identifies opportunities, but also significant risks related to the implementation of AI in judicial decision-making. Special attention is paid to issues of reviewability, accountability, judicial independence and equality of arms. The author proposes a set of de lege ferenda measures, including regulatory and ethical safeguards, and stresses the need to preserve human decision-making as a cornerstone of fair trial.
