The use of artificial intelligence systems in the criminal procedure activities of the prosecutor: advantages and disadvantages
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The relevance of this study stems from the growing contradiction between the rapid introduction of artificial intelligence systems into prosecutorial criminal proceedings and the lack of a coherent theoretical and legal model regulating the use of such innovations. This imbalance creates significant risks in the implementation of such fundamental principles of criminal proceedings as legality, adversarial proceedings, and the right to defense. The subject of this study is the complex social relations that develop as prosecutors use artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings, as well as the associated legal and organizational issues. The goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of prosecutors' use of artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings and, on this basis, to develop scientifically sound proposals for the formation of legal regulation that ensures a balance between technological efficiency and guarantees of individual rights. The author uses comparative legal analysis of international experience, an empirical analysis of the implementation of an AI assistant in the Saratov Region Prosecutor's Office, and a systems and predictive analysis of various aspects of prosecutors' use of artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings. The scientific novelty and practical significance of the study are determined by the nature of the conducted analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using artificial intelligence systems in the prosecutor's work. The conclusions and proposals are based not only on theoretical research, but also on direct experience in using AI assistants in law enforcement practice. Based on the results of the study, proposals are presented for integrating into the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation the norms on the legal status of the results of the use of artificial intelligence, the procedure for recording and appealing them. The need to consolidate special requirements for the processing, storage, and transmission of data used for training and in the operation of artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings is noted. It is proposed to adopt a law on the use of AI by government agencies, which would establish requirements for the presence of a detailed logical report function in AI systems developed for criminal proceedings; on training government AI systems on verified and up-to-date national databases; on the implementation of mandatory state control.
