Republican scientific and practical conference on the topic: “Prospects for the implementation of artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings”

The issue of implementing artificial intelligence in the judicial and legal sphere is one of the most pressing in our country, as highlighted in several regulatory legal acts.

In particular, the conditions for the accelerated implementation of artificial intelligence technologies were outlined in the Digital Uzbekistan-2030 Strategy, approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. UP-6079 dated October 5, 2020. The Presidential Resolution No. PP-4996 dated February 17, 2021, “On measures to create conditions for the accelerated implementation of artificial intelligence technologies”, defined tasks such as the development of artificial intelligence technologies in our country. Furthermore, the Presidential Decree No. UP-11 dated January 16, 2023, “On additional measures for further expanding access to justice and increasing the efficiency of the courts”, approved a short-term development strategy for the judicial system, assigning a number of tasks to judicial authorities and the prosecution service.

This Decree places special emphasis on the full digitalization of courts, the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, the improvement of interdepartmental electronic information exchange, the expansion of opportunities for remote participation in court hearings, and the key tasks of specialized prosecutors.

To this end, on February 13, 2025, the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan hosted the Republican Scientific and Practical Conference on the topic: “Prospects for the implementation of artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings”.
