What is the future of judicial proceedings in the face of accelerating technological progress? Has the wider international community developed legal and ethical standards for successful and secure algorithmic adjudication, and what regulatory documents cover them? What are the possible applications of AI tools in judicial decision-making processes? Are there examples of good and bad practices of replacing human judges with robotic ones that AI stakeholders can use as a starting point for further development and use of this technological tool in courtrooms? Which fundamental human rights and freedoms of the participants in the proceedings and which legal principles robotic judges will affect? What are the key dilemmas that arise when thinking about cyber justice?
In my Master's thesis, I provide answers to the above questions, which lead to the conclusion that AI tools will certainly not be able to fully replace human decision-makers, but their characteristics will make them a welcome complement and correction to the shortcomings of the existing way of judicial decision-making.
