The Use of Artificial Intelligence for the Individualized Justification of Preventive Measures

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in Georgian criminal proceedings is a stretch, because there is not even a fully developed legislative definition of artificial intelligence yet. However, against the backdrop of the rapid development of technologies in the world, Georgia will not be an exception if algorithms find their place in our legislation. The article discusses the issue of decision-making by artificial intelligence when individually justifying a petition for a preventive measure against a detained and unrepresented defendant. Taking into account the current criminal legislation in Georgia, official statistics and practice of satisfying the requested imprisonment, the article expresses the opinion that giving artificial intelligence the ability to make decisions would be beneficial in the context of ensuring human rights and implementing a fair trial. Meanwhile, the right to make a final decision on a preventive measure should still be left to the judge in accordance with his human intelligence and resources, both in relation to detained and free defendants.
