Abstract

One of the elements of civil society is an independent judiciary. In modern conditions, information technologies determine the vector of development of the judicial system. Recently, there has been a sharp increase in interest, both among scientists and law enforcement agencies, in the need to develop programs that allow automating the process of administration of justice. Despite the positive results of using artificial intelligence, it will not be able to replace the judge, since the facts established during the consideration and resolution of the case should not be separated from the values that should be taken into account when making a decision. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of information technologies on the judicial system to ensure the impartiality and fairness of justice, to justify the impossibility of replacing a judge with artificial intelligence in order to exclude corruption in judicial activities. Both general and specific research methods were used in this study. During the review of literature sources, comparative and logical methods and the method of analysis were used. Practical methods were also used in the work: methods of empirical analysis and synthesis, descriptions. The authors conclude that the introduction of information technologies in court proceedings will minimize conflicts of interest by reducing the influence of the human factor in decision-making in the administration of justice. However, it is impossible to completely replace a person with artificial intelligence in the administration of justice. The article provides recommendations for improving the current legislation. To do this, it is suggested to make appropriate changes to the current legislation: to introduce clear terminology that can be translated into a programming language, allowing the system to make unambiguous conclusions when evaluating the maximum possible number of parameters. It is also necessary to exclude from the current legislation the terms that do not have exact characteristics.
