ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS AN AUXILIARY TOOL IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

This article is devoted to the study of the practice of using artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool in judicial proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Based on empirical data from China, Brazil, and Germany, a comparative analysis of three ways to introduce AI into national judicial systems has been performed. In the Chinese model of "smart courts," algorithms automate routine procedural actions, analyze evidence, and make recommendations for choosing preventive measures. Artificial intelligence in Brazil sorts claims and predicts the timing of cases. The German approach is the most restrained: technology serves as an auxiliary tool for judges in assessing disputes of the same type about the calculation of compensation for flight delays. This study focuses on the fact that the availability of a reliable digital foundation and clearly formulated ethical principles is the key to the successful implementation of digital technologies, which ensures a harmonious combination of operational effectiveness with the protection of fundamental rights to a fair trial. The analysis made it possible to identify stable trends common to all legal systems studied: the preservation of artificial intelligence as a support tool, the obligation of human supervision in making final court decisions, as well as a gradual change in legislative regulation – from limited, pilot application to comprehensive regulatory consolidation.
