Utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle par les tribunaux
Initiative overview
Use of AI Tools by Courts to Enhance Court Operations: This document examines benefits and challenges, sets out guiding principles, and highlights key steps in the adoption of AI tools by courts. It focuses on AI tools used for administrative or legal research and analysis purposes, rather than on AI tools and issues related to decision making, evidence, electronic disclosure or substantive law.
Use of AI Tools by Court Users to Help them Participate in Court: This document examines the benefits and challenges of using AI by court users to assist them in participating in court proceedings. It addresses considerations relevant to 1) the development and monitoring of guidelines by courts on the subject, and 2) responsible use of AI by court users.
Both documents were developed as non-binding guidance to assist courts across Canada in developing their own policies, frameworks and tools governing the use of AI by courts or court users. As such, the Action Committee does not actively monitor their implementation and institutionalisation.
The Action Committee supports Canada’s courts in their modernisation efforts. It provides guidance for addressing challenges, and highlights opportunities and innovative practices to modernise court operations and improve access to justice for court users. In this case, the non-prescriptive guidance covers the use of artificial intelligence by courts to enhance their operations and the use of artificial intelligence by court users to support their participation in court proceedings. Given the non-binding nature of this guidance, there is no formal measuring of results and impacts.
