THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE STF: THE USE OF THE VICTOR PROGRAM AND THE OBSTACLES TO ACCESS TO THE JUDICIARY

Abstract

This article deals with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judiciary, with an emphasis on the Victor Project, which is a tool designed through a partnership between the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the University of Brasília (UnB), which aims to improve the resolution of cases in the judicial sphere and eliminate or at least reduce the congestion of unresolved actions in the country's courts, with regard to judicial analyses. AI directly influences the modernization of the judiciary, as this means allows it to be used by lawyers, judges and the Judiciary in general, aiming to speed up the decisions of the Superior Court of Justice in a more skillful manner. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to discuss the use of AI in the field of Law, emphasizing the use of the Victor Project in the decisions of the STF, also showing its positive and negative impacts, from a constitutional and ethical perspective, as well as how all procedures should be in the application of legal practices. The methodology used to develop this article consists of bibliographic and empirical research based on documents and qualitative data analysis, through the search in scientific articles and pertinent legislation based on the higher courts. The brief study proposes a clear understanding of the issues involving AI and judicial decisions, involving the Victor tool and its need for transparency regarding the use of this technology, suggesting the addition of movements in electronic processes to allow revisions when necessary.
