DATA-ORIENTED JUSTICE WITH ALGORITHMS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IZATION OF JUSTICE,A STEP WITHOUT NO RETURN

Abstract

The dataization of life, of society, in the 21st century has become an indisputable reality, reaching also the algorithmization of Justice.  The challenges and risks are enormous and the outlook is complex. We are witnessing an ever-increasing "hybridization" of Justice: machines and humans interact, algorithms assist legal operators, systems are created to complement the decisions of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, notaries, etc., although, increasingly, we are moving towards the progressive replacement of human beings in Justice by machines, by robots. The dilemma is present and the question arises as to whether the fascinating quest for Smart Justice will lead to the disappearance of humans in Justice. This paper discusses how technology has reached the world of Justice and how it is transforming legal concepts, principles, procedural rules, favoring a certain "automation" of functions that, until now, were "human".
