ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION AS A CATALYST FOR JUDICIAL REFORM AND DATA-DRIVEN LEGAL DECISION-MAKING

Abstract

In the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most influential tools in reshaping governance, economy, and justice systems. The judicial branch, traditionally viewed as conservative in adopting innovation, is now entering a new era of digital transformation. Studies by the European Commission (2023) and the American Bar Association (2022) indicate that AI-based legal analytics can shorten the average case-processing time by 35–50% while improving the accuracy and consistency of judicial decisions.
