Buenas prácticas para el uso de la inteligencia artificial en las Inspecciones de Convivencia y Paz a la luz de la jurisprudencia colombiana

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in Coexistence and Peace Inspectorates brings new challenges for protecting rights, constitutional guarantees, and the principles that guide their actions. Therefore, this article seeks to demonstrate, based on case law, the limits of its use and to establish good practices, particularly in the abbreviated verbal procedure. It takes into account the nature of each action and how the tool influences the decision-making process of the authority. To this end, it analyzes the applicable legal framework, Colombian case law, and the documents that have guided the use of artificial intelligence in the legal field. Its main references are Constitutional Court Judgment T-323 of 2024, Superior Council of the Judiciary Agreement PCSJA24-12243 of 2024, and Supreme Court of Justice Order AC739-2026. This analysis helps identify rules concerning human oversight, information verification, transparency, data protection, and accountability. It also establishes a clear limit on the use of these tools to replace legal reasoning, the assessment of evidence, the reasoning supporting a decision, or the decision itself by the competent authority. Thus, the article argues that the use of artificial intelligence cannot be defined solely by the tool itself, but rather by the purpose for which it is used and the role it plays in the action. Based on this approach, it proposes a set of good practices to guide the responsible use of artificial intelligence in a manner consistent with constitutional guarantees within the First Coexistence and Peace Inspectorate.
