Uses of Artificial Intelligence in Achieving Predictive Criminal Justice According to the Provisions of Jordanian Law

Abstract

  This study aimed to analyze the role of artificial intelligence in achieving predictive justice within the framework of Jordanian law by identifying the possibility of employing smart technologies in supporting the Jordanian judicial process and enhancing its efficiency. The study focuses on the concept of predictive justice as one of the tools that is based on analyzing judicial precedents in order to reuse their data to predict future judicial rulings, while discussing the ethical and legal challenges resulting from the use of such technologies 

For this purpose, the study used both the analytical and descriptive approaches to collect relevant Jordanian legal texts for use in the study. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that artificial intelligence algorithms cannot perform the process of investigation and inference according to the provisions of the Jordanian Code of Criminal Procedure under penalty of invalidity unless they are used as one of the means within that process and not as standalone tools. Therefore, it recommended enacting some legal texts that allow judicial bodies to accept the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, so that flexibility is the basis for the use of predictive criminal justice in the Jordanian judiciary.
