Artificial Intelligence in Law Enforcement and Justice Bodies: Domestic and European Experience

Abstract

The primary concerns of this research paper are to reveal current issues of the application of artificial intelligence technologies in law enforcement and justice bodies in the conditions of martial law and global threats; to identify the main trends, issues and forensic research prospects using artificial intelligence through the prism of European integration processes; to highlight gaps in the normative and legal regulation of the use of digital technologies; outline directions for its improvement. In order to reach objectives, general scientific and special methods (in particular, dialectical, analytical, induction and deduction, and others) were applied. The domestic and European experience in the application of artificial intelligence technologies in law enforcement and justice bodies was analyzed, and their promising directions were determined. We consider that legal regulation of the application of artificial intelligence in Ukraine should be carried out according to European standards, rules and recommendations in accordance with the European integration course chosen by our state. Note that introduction of the artificial intelligence into legal proceedings should be based preliminary on the principles of the rule of law, observance of basic human rights, respect for honor and dignity, equality before the law and the court, proportionality, competition between the parties, transparency, impartiality and justice. Artificial intelligence is not capable of completely replacing judges, however, its implementation will contribute to the optimization of the work of the judge and court. It is substantiated that in today’s military realities, the issue on increasing the effectiveness of the investigation of modern war crimes and cybercrimes with the help of digital technologies has become acute.
