Direito e tecnologia: o uso da inteligência artificial pelo STJ na gestão dos precedentes

Abstract

Artificial intelligence, a field of computer science responsible for the creation of systems that perform typically human tasks based on their way of reasoning or behavior, has greatly influenced contemporary life, including the outstanding performance in Law, which, with a vast database, becomes a fertile field for its development. Its implementation within the Brazilian Judiciary has been a strategic solution adopted by the internal administration of the courts to deal with the massification of cases that are received daily, with the support of essential stimuli by the Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ). In relation to the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), the tool is especially used in the management of precedents, based on initiatives such as the Athos system and the Socrates system, aiming to provide more speed and efficiency in the jurisdictional provision. Although such contributions are significant and their implementation is progressive, several problems are present in this relationship, ranging from deficient legal regulation to the absence of adequate technical treatment. Thus, the present work is based on a technique of bibliographic and documentary review, under the deductive method, for the analysis of the relationship between Law and artificial intelligence in the Judiciary, focusing on the STJ, specifically regarding the management of its precedents, in association with the framework of existing regulations.
