Study goals
Analyze the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice process, evaluating its impact on decision-making, accuracy, and ethical challenges, and how it can complement without compromising the oral and immediate nature of the process.
Relevance / originality
The study is relevant for exploring the impact of AI on the criminal justice system and process management, highlighting how technology can enhance efficiency without replacing critical human analysis, an area that has been little explored in practice.
Methodology / approach
A qualitative approach was adopted, reviewing the application of AI in international contexts and considering European legislation and guidelines. The research also analyzed ethical challenges and the need for human validation of decisions generated by AI.
Main results
AI can improve efficiency and accuracy in data analysis and decision-making, but faces criticism for not capturing the human sensitivity needed for complex assessments. Legislation is beginning to regulate its use.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
The study contributes by discussing the adaptation of criminal theories to the presence of AI and the need for legislative revisions, offering a model of how to integrate technology without compromising fundamental procedural principles.
Social / management contributions
The findings offer insights for the ethical application of AI in criminal proceedings, helping to define guidelines for the protection of fundamental rights and ensuring the effectiveness of judicial processes in an advanced technological context.
