USING AI IN JUDICIAL PRACTICE – CAN AI SIT ON THE BENCH IN THE NEAR FUTURE?

AI is one of the most popular topics in particularin the last decade even if it has an older history.This paper tries to address AI from the lawperspective to discover to what extent AI canbe used in judicial practice from an assistant toa judge. This paper anticipates that AI can beused in judicial practice by three options as AIassistant to judge, AI drafting decisions and AIdeciding cases. Moreover, if AI is used in judicialpractice, firstly it should have an ethical frame,as the ordinary legal actors have. Indeed, thereare certain attempts for both to regulate AI, ingeneral, and to create an ethical framework forthe AI being used in legal practice even if theystill remain at the initial stage. All in all, AI boomwill continue to affect legal practice as it doesin other professions even if the law will be oneof those sectors which will be affected less andlater

Mahkeme Uygulamasında Yapay Zeka Kullanımı – Yapay Zeka Yakın Gelecekte Kürsüde Yer Alabilir Mi?

Yapay zekâ, daha eski bir geçmişe sahip olsa da özellikle son on yıldaki en popüler konulardan biridir. Bu çalışma, yapay zekânın, bir yardımcıdan müstakil bir hakime varana kadar yargı pratiğinde ne kadar kullanılabileceğini keşfetmek adına yapay zeka kavramını hukuk perspektifinden ele almaya çalışmaktadır. Bu makale yapay zekanın yargı uygulamasında, hakime yardımcı yapay zeka, karar taslaklarını hazırlayan yapay zeka ve karar veren yapay zeka olarak üç şekilde kullanılabileceğini öngörmektedir. Yargı uygulamasında kullanılacak yapay zeka ilk olarak bir etik çerçeveye sahip olmalıdır. Zira adil olma, ayrımcılık yasağı gibi hukuk sisteminin kurucu değerlerine uygun hareket edilmesi mevcut aktörler için de bir yükümlülüktür. Aslında, henüz başlangıç aşamasında olsalar da hukuki uygulamada kullanılacak yapay zeka için hem düzenleme hem de etik bir çerçeve oluşturmaya dair çeşitli girişimler bulunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, yapay zekâ patlaması, her ne kadar hukuk olabildiğince geç ve sonradan etkilenecek sektörlerden biri olsa bile, diğer alanlarda olduğu gibi yargısal uygulamaları da etkilemeye devam edecektir.
