Today, artificial intelligence is effective in most aspects of human life. The reason for this can be attributed to the impressive speed and accuracy of artificial intelligence in processing a large volume of data in a short time and, consequently, the increase in speed and accuracy in performing various human tasks.
One of these aspects is the use of artificial intelligence as a consultant in judicial proceedings. The speed and accuracy of artificial intelligence, while eliminating the delay of the trial, minimizes the damage caused by human error in the trial process. However, aside from these advantages, the special nature of artificial intelligence and the high volume of data have caused artificial intelligence to not enjoy sufficient transparency in its performance.
Therefore, the entry of artificial intelligence into the judicial arena, despite its many desirable benefits, can lead to deterioration in transparency in trials, creating a fundamental challenge: how can the adverse effects of a lack of transparency be minimized while benefiting from the benefits of artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings? Taking all aspects into account, this article considers “supervision” at various stages of design, training, and use of artificial intelligence as the best solution in this regard; Surveillance that can be carried out from different dimensions, at different stages and by competent institutions.
