INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NO DIREITO BRASILEIRO: ABORDAGENS JURÍDICAS, IMPLICAÇÕES INSTITUCIONAIS E LIMITES NORMATIVOS

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence has progressively altered legal dynamics, impacting both the internal procedures of courts and the argumentative structure of legal practitioners. This article aimed to describe the interdisciplinary approaches adopted in the Brazilian legal field regarding the application of artificial intelligence, focusing on the ethical, institutional, and procedural implications. The research adopted a qualitative, descriptive methodology, based on a systematic literature review, respecting selection criteria focused on current affairs, thematic relevance, and academic rigor. The results revealed that a significant portion of the national literature still presents divergences regarding the technical understanding of AI, alternating between discourses of enthusiastic support and positions of normative caution. The main concerns center on the lack of transparency in algorithms, the risk of violating procedural guarantees, and the lack of technical training on the part of legal agents. It was also found that regulatory efforts are still incipient, although there is growing concern about principles such as human oversight, the motivation of automated decisions, and the protection of fundamental rights. It is concluded that the incorporation of artificial intelligence into Brazilian law requires a more consistent articulation between academic debate, regulatory institutions, and professional training spaces, in order to ensure that its application respects constitutional limits and preserves the legitimacy of the legal system.
