AI's role in Civil Judicial System: Opportunities and Barriers
In the current issue of DER BETRIEB, authors Sara Vanetta and Janna Vogt, who specialise in Litigation, discuss the use of legal tech tools and AI in civil justice. The essay, titled "Artificial Intelligence in Civil Courts - Perspectives and Challenges", highlights the potential of AI to change the self-image of judicial activity while emphasising the need to redefine the role of the judge in the digital age.
The article stresses the importance of ensuring that the use of such tools does not compromise constitutionally guaranteed procedural rights. AI is not just a technical aid but also an independent instrument that can influence decision-making processes. As such, it is crucial to redefine the role of the judge without delegating judicial responsibility.
One of the benefits of using legal tech tools and AI-supported programs in civil justice is increased efficiency, particularly in mass proceedings. The use of such tools is considered an important step towards a modern and efficient constitutional state. However, the potential of AI could also challenge the traditional self-image of judicial activity, requiring a careful balancing act between efficiency and the protection of constitutional rights.
