Sztuczna inteligencja a usprawnienie postępowania przed sądami administracyjnymi. Kilka refleksji na tle doświadczeń wybranych systemów prawnych

Abstract

The study attempts to present the potential impact of artificial intelligence algorithms on streamlining administrative court procedures in the near future. The main objective of the study is to examine which areas of administrative court operations could be supported or replaced by computer programs in the future, in order to relieve the administrative staff, assistant corps and judicial staff of the tasks they currently perform. The replacement of highly qualified court officials in the simplest, repetitive and time-consuming activities related to the initiation, conduct and conclusion of proceedings before an administrative court, and the performance of numerous activities supporting or supplementing the judicial process, such as the determination of formalities, the sending of correspondence or the anonymisation of the reasons for judgments issued by the court, may in the future free up space for people working in the court. Consequently, at least in principle, this should contribute to the streamlining of administrative court proceedings in Poland. The answer to this question will be supplemented by an examination of the current experience of several legal systems which, in my opinion, are experimenting the most with the use of artificial intelligence in the judiciary or are introducing pilot programmes.
