The article addresses legal, social, and economic issues arising from the introduction of artificial intelligence in the judiciary. The primary focus of the article is the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms in the context of applying artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings. The methodology employed includes deductive, comparative, historical, prognostic, structural, and functional methods, as well as system analysis and scientific generalization. A wide range of international experiences in applying artificial intelligence systems within the judiciaries of various countries, such as the USA, China, India, Brazil, and the UK, is examined. Significant attention is devoted to the legislation of countries that have already integrated artificial intelligence into their justice systems. Moreover, particular emphasis is placed on the first comprehensive act of international legislation dedicated to artificial intelligence—the AI Act of the European Union. It is demonstrated that the use of artificial intelligence can increase the efficiency of judicial proceedings and facilitate access to justice for ordinary people. However, concerns remain regarding technological accessibility and fairness, a lack of public trust, transparency, the potential compromising of judicial authority, and the financial costs associated with introducing AI tools in courts. The conclusion drawn is that a robust legal framework, along with human oversight and ethical standards concerning artificial intelligence, is essential for protecting fundamental human rights and maintaining public confidence in the judiciary.
