人工智慧於司法實務的應用

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Judicial Practice in Taiwan

人類社會邁進人工智慧時代，關於人工智慧的應用，勢必影響人類社會，此包含司法實務在內。目前，人工智慧之於臺灣司法實務的應用，尚處萌芽期。在現階段，人工智慧的強大功能，呈現在資料處理、視聽辨識；已應用於司法實務者，諸如：法律資料檢索分析，或如量刑建議等個案預測，或協助民眾撰寫法律文件、簡單法律問題諮商，或協助製作筆錄、緝捕罪犯等。人工智慧，可以提升司法工作效能，以及促進民眾利用司法。我們樂觀相信，人工智慧有助於司法的進步。

Human society has entered the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The use of AI is bound to affect human society, and this includes judicial practice. At this time, Taiwan is only in the early stages of applying AI to the judicial system as many systems are invented to fit a specific purpose. These developments have already made good headway in Taiwan and are accelerating the pace of using AI within our judicial system. The powerful ability of artificial intelligence is presented in data processing and audiovisual identification. AI that has been used in the judicial system now, for example, searching, collating and analyzing legal materials; forecasting cases, such as criterion for imposing penalty; facilitating people’s access to justice, such as legal document writing or simple legal issues consultation; and helping to make reports quickly, helping law enforcement agency arrest criminals.Overall, applying AI to the judicial system can be separated into two important objectives; firstly, to ease the workload of those individuals working in judiciary roles, and secondly, to provide an easier means for the general public to access legal resources. Facing the future, we are optimistic that artificial intelligence can help promote the progress of the judiciary.
