Artificial Intelligence Serves Legal Education: The Application and Challenges of Chinese AI-assisted Judicial Trials

Abstract

In the digital era, with the development and reform of artificial intelligence and judicial systems, AI technology has gradually become involved in and assisting judicial trials. AI-assisted judicial trials is a new trial methodology based on digital technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing. This methodology can fully leverage AI’s ability to ensure judicial fairness and improve judicial efficiency in the field of judicial trials. In China, artificial intelligence, as an emerging technology, has become widespread in assisting judicial trials in the current digital era. The state provides policy guidance, while local judicial authorities innovate many convenient and efficient trial systems using artificial intelligence technology. However, the application of artificial intelligence technology still faces challenges, such as its own limitations, the lack of intelligent judicial talent, and insufficient depth and breadth of application scenarios. In the digital era, legal education should be deeply integrated with AI-assisted adjudication, and in the process of integration, measures such as improving data governance, broadening the scope of application, and strengthening the talent development for intelligent legal governance can be taken.
