New technologies also bring new challenges to the legal system. Artificial intelligence is a modern technology that changes the functioning of different social sectors. The question is whether artificial intelligence can completely and independently replace a judge, or whether it can only help him make decisions. The introduction of artificial intelligence into criminal justice processes can be both an advantage and a disadvantage for an individual over existing rights. Impacts need to be thoroughly analyzed, monitored and action taken - any negative consequences should be avoided. In the United States, artificial intelligence systems used are not in line with Council of Europe guidelines. These systems can summarize and further enhance human prejudice and discrimination against individuals (based on religion, race, sexual orientation). There are also attempts to introduce artificial intelligence systems in Europe, but the results are not convincing. In the future, such artificial intelligence algorithms will certainly help judges make decisions, in some cases being able to automate less demanding process tasks. Deciding if an individual is guilty with artificial intelligence systems is not possible yet. The future development of such systems can, however, greatly alter the overall legal system.
