CORRUPTION, JUSTICE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

Contextualization of the theme: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly altered human habits. The need to avoid social interactions and reduce displacements boosted the use of mechanisms that were already known, but used timidly, such as remote work, virtual meetings, telemedicine, online shopping, among others. The use of telepresence hearings and the remote assistance of parties and lawyers, made possible by the virtual counter established by the National Council of Justice, showed that the Judiciary could continue to function, even with its physical doors closed. And without loss of quality or productivity.

Methodology: The method used in the investigation phase and in the elaboration of this report was the inductive one; the research technique was the bibliographic review, with research in books, scientific journals, websites and legislation related to the themes addressed.

Objective: Explore the potential of using artificial intelligence in the Judiciary, with a specific focus on the development of applications that can contribute to the increase of investigations and prosecutions for corruption, an area in which Brazil experiences many difficulties and inefficiency.

Result: Especially in the anti-corruption area, where Brazil suffers from great inefficiency and low recovery of misappropriated assets, AI can help in the creation of new means to address an old problem. There are many possibilities, some not yet envisioned by the human mind.
