| The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has made it possible to deeply integrate modern science and technology with judicial work,providing an opportunity to reshape a new form of litigation in the information age.Social dispute resolution has entered a new era of intelligence.Modernization and informatization are inseparable.Without the informatization of courts,it is impossible to promote the modernization of the judicial capacity of judicial organs.As an important way for judicial organs to use scientific and technological means to improve court trial capacity and efficiency,the construction of smart courts has become an important task in China’s judicial reform.From July 2015,when the new concept of "smart court" was first proposed,to December 2020,the comprehensive and in-depth construction of People’s Court Informatization Version 4.0 was accelerated.The scientific plan for judicial modernization is being advanced in depth,gradually becoming a bright card for China’s legal construction.From the perspective of service objects,intelligent courts can be divided into external intelligent litigation courts and internal intelligent management courts.Strong technical support,top-down policy promotion,and the needs of the court system are the background for the emergence of intelligent courts,which can more effectively promote judicial reform,more fully reflect the justice for the people,and better promote judicial efficiency We will further promote judicial openness and ensure judicial fairness more effectively.The construction process of smart courts can be divided into stages such as information infrastructure and system construction,judicial big data collection and precipitation,and intelligent development in the entire field of justice.Today,a relatively complete system of intelligent services,intelligent judgments,intelligent execution,and intelligent management has been established.However,there are still problems in the construction of smart courts in China,such as contradictions between top-level design and grassroots governance,insufficient integration of application systems,non-standard data collection and collation,threats to personal information security,and excessive reliance on technology in system platform construction and judicial decision-making.To address these issues,we can coordinate the contradiction between top-level design and grassroots governance by strengthening the top-level design of intelligent courts and improving the practical level of intelligent judicial products;Improve the construction of a judicial data platform by strengthening the integration of application systems,controlling the boundaries of artificial intelligence judicial applications,and constructing a complete algorithm disclosure mechanism;Take legal authorization as the basic principle for the compliance collection of citizens’ personal information,and reasonable processing as the principle for the compliance provision of citizens’ personal information,improve the standardized sharing of personal information throughout the development cycle,and further strengthen the standardized processing of citizens’ personal information by smart courts;In addition,it is necessary to be cautious about the excessive involvement of technology in judicial decision-making.Judicial staff and machine algorithms should reasonably divide their labor in judicial decision-making,prevent excessive reliance on technology by intelligent judicial systems,and ensure the fairness of individual cases by improving the case retrieval system. |
