Inteligência artificial e sua aplicação no direito penal

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in the judicial system, including in the application of criminal sentences and in procedural analysis. With the accelerated advance of technology in society, especially in the legal field, AI has brought new possibilities to assist in procedural tasks in criminal law. This innovation has contributed significantly to reducing operating costs and the time needed to analyze appeals and pleadings, tasks that traditionally require considerable effort on the part of human resources. However, despite the advantages, it is essential to ensure that the use of these tools is done in an ethical, responsible and contextualized manner, in order to avoid the perpetuation of bias and discrimination. AI, while effective for automating and optimizing processes, requires careful supervision to avoid misinterpretations that could result in unfair decisions. In addition, the study in question adopts a qualitative methodology, through a bibliographical review and analysis of practical cases, carried out by means of a scientific article. The results show that, despite the benefits provided by technological advances, the absence of a social contextualization and a robust ethical concept can lead to the misapplication of software. In this scenario, artificial intelligence, when used without adequate criteria, can lead to misinterpretations and even discriminatory practices.
