Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in courts around the world has sparked the interest of jurists, aiming to determine the legal nature of algorithms and machine learning in order to confer a specific role to AI in the construction of virtuous jurisprudence. While some researchers believe that machines should contribute quantitatively, attempting to reduce the Judiciary's backlog, there are scholars who see technology as a qualitative alternative, resulting in greater legal certainty and uniformity of decisions. However, both alternatives carry their respective risks. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the issue to determine the role of artificial intelligence in Brazilian courts. Thus, through a methodology of bibliographic reference investigation, the nuances of using predictive technology and artificial intelligence in the Brazilian Judiciary will be analyzed.
