The Kostroma Regional Library reports that yesterday within its walls (in the hall of rare books, to be precise) a legal-philosophical discussion “Moral and legal aspects of the concept of justice” was held. It was attended by students of the University of Kostroma and acting lawyers – judges, lawyers, legal advisers, etc. .
Most interesting in the discussion was the answer to the question posed by one of the students: “Can a neural network take legal action and make fair decisions?”
The President of the Kostroma Regional Court, Sergei Andreev, responded to the student, who said that artificial intelligence has already been used in some regions of Russia when issuing court orders – and this has reduced burden of judicial workers and expedite decision-making.
Such an answer is already causing a stir in itself (although Sergey Andreev did not name specific regions), if only because the use of artificial intelligence is not provided for by any legal norm and is therefore, in fact, illegal.
And above all, do the citizens themselves accept that their legal disputes are settled by a neural network? Or for the neural network to punish the culprits? That in itself will be cooler than the uprising of the machines…
