LegalTech 3.0. Some Reflections on the Constitutional Prerequisites for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Administration of Justice

New technologies are increasingly present in the administration of justice. Recognised for their effectiveness and diverse possibilities, they are becoming increasingly important tools to support the functioning of the justice system. Due to their continuous development, the idea has emerged in the scientific space that tools based on one of them – artificial intelligence – should no longer be used as merely supporting judges, but as those that could replace the judge in fulfilling his or her tasks. Shaping the judiciary in this way, with an algorithmic judge – for this is essentially what the proposal is aiming at – raises constitutional questions. Indeed, constitutional law to date has developed certain standards to which a modern court must conform. The fulfilment of these standards by artificial intelligence is debatable; the analysis devoted to it is the subject of the article.The Author’s goal is to answer the question of whether constitutional law today is ready for artificial intelligence in the administration of justice.
