The third parallel session, organized within the framework of the international scientific and practical forum "TASHKENT CYBERLEX - 2026," was dedicated to the issues of artificial intelligence and the digital transformation of criminal justice.
The session titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Transformation of Criminal Proceedings: Progress, Risks, and Guarantees of Individual Rights" became an important international expert platform dedicated to discussing the future of the criminal justice system amidst the increasing interdependence between digital technologies and law enforcement practice.
The session was attended by scientists from Uzbekistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, France, Latvia, Singapore, and China, representatives of law enforcement agencies, experts from international organizations, and specialists in the field of digital forensics.
The focus of the discussions was on the legal and practical aspects of implementing artificial intelligence technologies in criminal proceedings, the digital transformation of investigative, prosecutorial, and judicial stages, ensuring the acceptability and reliability of digital evidence, mechanisms for verifying electronic evidence in the context of generative artificial intelligence, personal data protection, and ensuring the right to privacy.
International experts noted that while artificial intelligence creates broad opportunities for the law enforcement sector, issues related to its legal boundaries, algorithmic transparency, objectivity, and human rights have also become an integral part of the global agenda.
The session participants noted that legality, transparency, accountability, and strict observance of human rights are of paramount importance in the digitalization of criminal proceedings and the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into law enforcement practice.
During the discussions, a number of practical proposals and approaches were put forward to harmonize national legislation with international standards, strengthen legal guarantees for the use of digital technologies, and ensure the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
It was noted that artificial intelligence is not just a technological innovation for the criminal justice system, but a new legal reality that requires a revision of legal thinking, evidence management, and human rights protection mechanisms.
The third parallel session, as one of the most relevant and strategically important discussion platforms of the "TASHKENT CYBERLEX - 2026" forum, brought together scientific approaches, international experience, and practical solutions on artificial intelligence and the digital future of criminal justice.
