2022: In China, Artificial Intelligence Begins Helping Judges Pass Judgment

In mid-July 2022, artificial intelligence first became the compiler of the text of the indictment, which will be presented to the criminal in court. The machine learning system can automatically scan court cases for references, recommend laws and regulations to a judge, draft legal documents and correct what it considers human errors in a sentence.

In 2014, an intelligent court system called System of Systems (SoS) began as a database. However, as of July 20, 2022, she is consulted by every judge in each case, as prescribed by the supreme court. If the judges disagree with the machine's recommendations, they must provide it with a written explanation for accounting and inspection.

Artificial intelligence helps judges with verdicts in China

According to developers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, AI received prosecutorial skills after studying more than 17 thousand cases heard in Shanghai courts from 2015 to 2020. SoS issues the charges with 97% accuracy, based on one thousand features it identifies in court documents in specific criminal cases. Reportedly, the introduction of AI into the judicial system has reduced the average burden on the judge by more than a third and saved 1.7 billion working hours for Chinese citizens between 2019 and 2021. It is also reported that over the same period, more than $45 billion was saved, which is equivalent to half of all attorney fees in China in 2021.

According to the developers, SoS is able to bring charges for the eight most common crimes in China, such as credit card fraud, gambling, dangerous driving, intentional injury, obstruction of government officials in the performance of official duties, theft, fraud. The developers are confident that in the future AI will be able to bring charges for more resonant and legally complex crimes.^[1]
