The aim of this study was to identify the fundamentals for the effective application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal field through analysing theoretical frameworks and comparing international regulatory models. The research was based on a systematic review of academic literature and a comparative analysis of regulatory approaches. Five key theoretical paradigms concerning AI use in jurisprudence were identified: technological determinism, which asserts the inevitable transformation of legal practice; critical legal theories emphasising the reproduction of structural biases; socio-technical constructivism with its concept of mutual co-determinacy between law and technology; regulatory realism focusing on practical normative measures; and the institutional approach that examines the adaptive processes of legal organisations. The study revealed varying levels of technological maturity across different areas of legal activity, with the automation of legal research and document analysis demonstrating the highest development, while the automation of judicial proceedings remains experimental. A comparative analysis of the regulatory models of the European Union, the United States, and Singapore uncovered three fundamentally different regulatory philosophies: a preventive European approach with mandatory certification and fines of up to 6% of global turnover, a market-driven American model with minimal state intervention, and a pragmatically flexible Singaporean approach with voluntary standards. The categorisation of challenges associated with AI use included nine risk categories, from technological hallucinations to institutional transformations within the legal profession.

  • Mar 14, 2025
  • Uzhhorod National University Herald. Series: Law
  • K V Nykolyna

The article examines the advantages and limitations of generative interpretation of legal texts using large language models (LLMs) based on artificial intelligence (AI). It explores contemporary trends in the application of generative language models, particularly GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), in the legal field, including contract interpretation and the determination of the ordinary meaning of legal terms. Special attention is given to the advantages of generative technologies, such as the rapid processing of large volumes of textual data, the ability to conduct in-depth analysis of legal texts, the enhancement of the accuracy of legal conclusions, the reduction of cognitive load on legal professionals, increased efficiency in law enforcement, and the minimization of subjective influence on legal decision-making. The study also examines specific cases of AI utilization in legal practice, particularly in the Anglo-American legal system, where judges have used AI-generated conclusions for legal interpretation of terms within insurance policies. The article further addresses critical discussions on the boundaries of AI application in law, including ethical challenges, risks of algorithmic bias, legal accountability for automated decision-making, and the potential distortion of legal reasoning due to AI’s lack of comprehension of fundamental legal principles. Additionally, the study highlights methodological concerns related to generative interpretation, emphasizing the necessity of verifying AI-generated results through other empirical methods, such as comparative analysis of legal sources and expert consultations. While generative models exhibit a high capacity for textual analysis, it is noted that they cannot fully replace human legal reasoning and the comprehension of fundamental legal principles, such as the rule of law, justice, and proportionality. In conclusion, the article underscores that despite the significant potential of generative interpretation, its use should remain a supplementary tool for legal professionals and judges rather than a replacement for human judgment and professional expertise. Future research in this area should focus on the development of specialized AI-based legal models, the adaptation of algorithms to different legal systems, and the establishment of mechanisms for verifying generative interpretation outcomes.

  • Thainá Loise Grangeiro Campos

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in contemporary society, permeating various aspects of daily life and playing a crucial role in the so-called "Fourth Industrial Revolution." This revolution, characterized by the fusion of digital, physical, and biological technologies, promises to reshape the way we live, work, and interact. However, this rapid technological acceleration is not without significant challenges and concerns. The swift expansion of AI carries the potential to infringe upon fundamental rights, exacerbate social inequalities, and perpetuate biases.Big Data refers to the vast volume and diversity of data collected, stored, and processed by public and private entities, posing a significant risk of violating the fundamental right to data protection, which was incorporated into the Brazilian Federal Constitution through Constitutional Amendment No. 115/2022 and is enshrined in Article 5, item LXXIX. Furthermore, the interaction between artificial intelligence, Big Data, and algorithms reveals a tendency toward discriminatory biases that influence critical decisions, from credit systems to criminal justice. The lack of adequate regulation may result in discrimination and injustices, compromising individual rights and exacerbating preexisting disparities.It is imperative that the legal system keeps pace with this technological evolution by establishing robust ethical standards that ensure the fair and equitable application of AI. In the legal field, AI is increasingly used, from contract drafting automation to assisting in complex judicial decisions. However, the implementation of these technologies must be accompanied by stringent transparency and accountability mechanisms, particularly within the criminal justice system, where errors can have devastating consequences for individuals and communities. To mitigate these challenges, a continuous dialogue among legislators, legal professionals, and technology experts is essential to develop policies that protect fundamental rights, promote justice, and ensure fairness. Ethics must be at the core of these discussions, ensuring that AI algorithms are designed and deployed in a manner that prevents discrimination and upholds universal human rights principles.
