Artificial Intelligence and Process

Artificial intelligence systems offer significant opportunities in terms of effectiveness and efficiency in every area of ​​law, although they present risks and limitations that prompt legal reflection to test the adequacy of traditional categories and institutions of the legal system to regulate the use of new technologies within the framework of constitutional guarantees. Even criminal investigation, both in the procedural phase of investigations, from their beginning, and in the trial phase in the evidentiary and decisional field, can benefit from the current algorithmic innovation as well as from sophisticated automated data processing techniques. The scientific contribution of academic scholars, deliberately identified in different legal sectors in order to allow a specific investigation of the multiplicity of issues addressed, is enriched, in this volume, by the thoughtful critical observations of professionals in the judicial world, thus offering a broad prospective horizon for the examination of the complex potential of the use of AI in the procedural field.
