The first meeting of the new CEPEJ Working group on Cyberjustice and artificial intelligence (CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST) took place by videoconference on 27 April 2020.
The objective of the Working group is to analyse and develop appropriate tools on new issues such as the use of cyberjustice or artificial intelligence in judicial systems in relation to the efficiency and quality of judicial systems.
At this meeting, an exchange of views took place on the possible future work of the Working Group, based on the themes contained in its mandate:
- the use of ICT in judicial systems and in particular the quality requirements of the videoconference;
- artificial intelligence and ADR ;
- artificial intelligence in civil, administrative and/or criminal procedure, in particular with a view to its modernisation within a digital framework;
- artificial intelligence and enforcement of judicial proceedings, in particular to improve the procedures within a digital framework;
- training curricula concerning CEPEJ tools in the field of cyberjustice and artificial intelligence;
- contribution of CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST to the implementation of the relevant co-operation programmes.
The CYBERJUST group will also hold a joint meeting at a later stage with the CEPEJ Working Group on Quality of Justice (CEPEJ-GT-QUAL) with a view to sharing tasks, in particular to follow up the implementation of the CEPEJ European Ethical Charter on the use of artificial intelligence in judicial systems and their environment and its toolbox and to ensure co-ordination.
