artificial intelligence, prevention of corruption, judiciary, judicial power, advantages of artificial intelligence.Abstract
There has been made an attempt in the article to assess the possibility and expediency of application of information and communication technologies and their highest manifestation – artificial intelligence – as an anti-corruption tool in the judiciary. The essence and modern forms of the artificial intelligence phenomenon and its connection with information and communication technologies have been analyzed. There has been researched national and foreign legal regulation on the application of artificial intelligence both in the field of public administration in general and in the field of the judiciary and administration of justice in particular. The cases of the most «significant» corruption events in the judiciary have been presented and an attempt to find out the reasons of the failure of traditional tools to prevent corruption has been made. There has been called into question the ability of the state to overcome such a negative socio-power phenomenon as corruption without the implementation of radical steps which have long been overdue and became even more actualized during the armed conflict. Some positive examples of the information and communication technologies use in the judiciary have been demonstrated. Separate advantages of using artificial intelligence as a new tool for preventing corruption in the administration of justice have been briefly systematized. There has been emphasized that artificial intelligence due to its impartiality is fully capable to ensure the realization of the right to a fair trial, preserving time, financial and human resources, and reducing the level of corruption. At the same time, there has been underlined that without studying the risks and threats of using computer programs at this level of their development, relying only on them as a panacea for the destruction of corruption practices is imprudent and premature. Finally, an impulse for further research of artificial intelligence and its features as a tool of corruption prevention in the judicial system has been given.
