DIGITAL REFORMS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COURT SUMMONS SYSTEM

Abstract

This article provides an opportunity to examine the introduction of artificial intelligence capabilities into the activities of courts and the legal basis for court notifications and summonses in civil and economic procedural legislation, as well as the procedures for informing and summoning participants to court hearings. It also analyzes scholarly views and opinions on this matter and offers a comparative-legal study of how court notifications and summonses are developed in the practice of foreign countries. Alongside the advantages of applying artificial intelligence technologies in judicial proceedings, there are also certain challenges and risk factors. In particular, issues such as the reliability of the analytical results generated by artificial intelligence, ensuring the confidentiality of personal data, and determining where responsibility lies when the role of the human factor is reduced require special attention. In addition, the article presents proposals and recommendations regarding the boundaries of using artificial intelligence technologies in the practical functioning of courts, the improvement of national legislation, the full digitalization of notifications and summonses in judicial proceedings, and the further development of the electronic court system.
