AI and Justice: Is Uzbekistan’s Judiciary system prepared?
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, judiciary system, Uzbekistan, legal technology, Judicial Reform, AI in Law, court automation, digital justice, e-sud, algorithmic decision makingAbstract
The advancing transformation of legal systems by artificial intelligence
(AI) worldwide leads to questions about its possible implementation in developing country
judiciaries as there are no international regulations addressing AI by international
organizations like the United Nations or International Court of Justice. In this case, every
country whether developed or developing is making an effort to deal with this trend
according to its own national legislature system. This paper investigates how ready the
judicial system of Uzbekistan is to implement AI-based solutions for case handling and
legal document retrieval and court decision processes. The research investigates the current
legal framework and institutional setup as well as the digital systems and ethical and
practical obstacles of AI implementation in courtrooms. The research assesses Uzbekistan's
readiness to implement AI technology by analyzing global best practices and regional
developments and its ability to protect fairness and transparency and due process. The
article provides recommendations for a rights-based and cautious implementation of AI in
Uzbekistan's judicial system.
