The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Facilitating Civil Litigation: AComparative Study

Abstract

This Research examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating civil litigation by analyzing the impact of AI algorithms on litigation procedures and on the achievement of justice for litigants. The rapid development of these systems has led to their integration into various fields, including the judicial process. These applications have contributed to accelerating dispute resolution and reducing time and effort for both courts and litigants. They have also enabled faster access to data and the provision of innovative solutions, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of the judiciary, reducing judicial errors, and preventing case backlogs before courts.

The study aims to examine the impact of AI applications on litigation procedures and the realization of justice by highlighting both the advantages and disadvantages of their use. The deployment of AI raises several legal and ethical issues related to neutrality, accountability, and its capacity to ensure fair justice for litigants.

The study concludes that the Iraqi legislator should enact specific legislation regulating the use of artificial intelligence in order to strike a balance between the rapid technological developments in this field and the need to ensure justice for disputing parties. It also emphasizes the necessity of training judicial personnel in the use of these technologies and benefiting from the experiences of other countries in this regard.
