This article examines the use of the “ethics by design” technique, as it has been evaluated and introduced by the European Commission, in the development of AI systems used for decision-making purposes by European civil or administrative justice, in order to address the basic challenges that these systems may pose to the effective and lawful judicial procedure. The study focuses on the fundamental principles that should govern the ethical development of AI systems and in what ways these principles can be transformed in internal values of the design phase of the system used in the judicial sector, and incorporated into its lifecycle operation. Finally, we explore the limitations of the use of this technique in building the trustworthiness of automated decision-making systems in the judicial procedure, arguing in favour of a human-centred decision-making process.

摘要

This article examines the use of the “ethics by design” technique, as it has been evaluated and introduced by the European Commission, in the development of AI systems used for decision-making purposes by European civil or administrative justice, in order to address the basic challenges that these systems may pose to the effective and lawful judicial procedure. The study focuses on the fundamental principles that should govern the ethical development of AI systems and in what ways these principles can be transformed in internal values of the design phase of the system used in the judicial sector, and incorporated into its lifecycle operation. Finally, we explore the limitations of the use of this technique in building the trustworthiness of automated decision-making systems in the judicial procedure, arguing in favour of a human-centred decision-making process.
