THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE HIGH ANTI-CORRUPTION COURT OF UKRAINE DURING ITS JUDICIAL CONTROL

Abstract

The article deals with study of the possibilities and effectiveness of the use of AI in the activities of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine during its judicial control, which is an important aspect of increasing the effectiveness of the criminal process in general and creating the basis for the further vector of its development. The theoretical foundations of AI implementation, its advantages, limitations and legal aspects are considered. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of international experience, where AI technologies are already actively used in criminal proceedings at all its stages. The paper focuses on ethical and legal risks associated with the use of AI and suggests ways to minimize them. The authors have stated that the use of AI can significantly increase the efficiency and objectivity of judicial control, contributing to more accurate and faster decision-making. This will reduce the impact of the human factor and, most importantly, reduce the burden on the judicial system during judicial control, which is important to ensure the impartiality and fairness of trials. The authors have concluded that the functionality of artificial intelligence in the activities of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine may provide for the implementation of the following functions: 1) tracking the timing in the proceedings, personal reminder of the judge about a particular event that should occur with his participation; 2) checking the information specified in the petition of the detective, prosecutor with information from open databases and registers; 3) assistance in organizing the trial (invitation of participants, automatic reminder, etc.); 4) monitoring compliance with spelling, punctuation and lexical errors, etc.; 5) search and analysis of judicial practice. It is emphasized that AI can only be a useful and auxiliary tool in the field of justice, but cannot replace the role of judges and that the use of artificial intelligence technologies by a judge is permissible if it does not affect the independence and impartiality of a judge, does not concern the assessment of evidence and the decision-making process and does not violate the requirements of the law.
