AI and Law: Navigating the Digital Transformation of Justice
We are proud to present the Special Issue of Access to Justice in Eastern Europe (4/2025), titled "AI and Law". In an era where technological innovation is reshaping the very fabric of legal systems, this issue moves beyond theoretical debate to examine the practical, ethical, and regulatory realities of integrating Artificial Intelligence into the judiciary.
This edition underscores the unique responsibility of the legal community to ensure that digital transformation strengthens, rather than erodes, the rule of law. The articles in this issue provide critical comparative perspectives, exploring how diverse jurisdictions—from Ukraine and Germany to the broader European and global landscape—are balancing efficiency with fundamental rights.
Issue Highlights:
AI in Criminal Justice: In "Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Justice in Germany and Ukraine: A Comparative Legal Study," Lidiia Moskvych, Iryna Borodina, and Olga Ovsiannikova provide a timely analysis of how AI tools are being deployed in high-stakes environments. The authors contrast the experience of predictive policing in Germany with Ukraine’s emerging use of tools like the "Cassandra" risk assessment system, offering a roadmap for ethical regulation that prioritizes human oversight.
The European Perspective: Goda Strikaitė-Latušinskaja tackles the central debate of automation in "AI Systems in Judicial Decision-Making: Support vs. Supersede – The European Perspective." Her analysis defines the boundaries of the European human-centric approach, arguing that while AI can enhance efficiency as a supportive tool, the legitimacy of justice depends on retaining human authority in final decision-making.
Courts and Dispute Resolution: Muhammad Qadeer Ashraf explores the transformative potential and risks of algorithmic adjudicators in "Artificial Intelligence in Courts and Dispute Resolution: Challenges and Opportunities." This contribution critically assesses the "black box" problem and the implications of fully autonomous AI for the right to a fair trial, advocating for robust ethical safeguards.
Regulatory Challenges in Kazakhstan: Anuar Nurmagambetov and co-authors examine the emerging legal landscape in "AI and Law: Procedural Safeguards and Regulatory Challenges in Kazakhstan." Identifying gaps in the governance of high-risk systems, the article proposes a phased reform strategy inspired by EU and OECD models to ensure transparency and accountability.
Data Protection in Vietnam & the EU: Phuong Anh Nguyen offers a compelling comparative study in "Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Justice: Balancing Technological Innovation and Personal Data Protection Rights." The author argues for a "dynamic balance" between innovation and privacy, suggesting institutional reforms to safeguard personal data in criminal proceedings.
We would like to congratulate the team of editors—Mag. Yuliia Hartman, Dr. Goda Strikaitė-Latušinskaja, and Mag. Costa Popotas—on such excellent work!
We invite our readers to explore these contributions and join the global dialogue on the future of justice in the digital age.
