De la Mora Judicial a la Eficiencia Digital: el Rol Transformador de la Inteligencia Artificial en la Justicia del Futuro

Abstract

This article will address the digital transformation and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the administration of justice, presenting an interdisciplinary analysis that integrates legal, technological, ethical and social perspectives. First, the concept of digital transformation and its application in the judicial field will be explored, highlighting how technological tools such as data analysis and predictability of decisions are optimizing judicial processes globally, giving as an example cases of AI incorporation in some countries. On the other hand, a detailed analysis of the Pretoria case in Colombia will be made, highlighting how AI has facilitated the management of guardianship cases in a context of high judicial congestion, examining its implementation in other Latin American countries and the social and normative implications derived from its use, emphasizing the need for regulation and supervision to mitigate ethical and technical risks. Finally, it will outline the future challenges of AI in justice on issues such as fairness, transparency and algorithmic biases, with the aim of proposing strategies for a common international regulatory framework consolidation, based on the discussion of initiatives to ensure the responsible use of AI, balancing technological innovation with the protection of fundamental rights, all in order to reflect on how the digital transformation can and will strengthen the judicial system, provided that the ethical, legal and social challenges it poses are adequately addressed.
