Abstract

The process of digitalization, aimed at the widespread dissemination of digital technologies in all spheres of life of modern society, ensuring the information content of knowledge and the availability of information, has a direct impact on the development of the entire system of current legislation, law enforcement practice and legal sciences at the international and national levels. Legal activity based on the rule of law is quite conservative in nature. Since the adoption of procedural decisions, the performance of legally significant actions, rule-making form the basis for the recognition, execution, observance, protection and protection of human and civil rights, the advantage here remains with a person, not a machine. Nevertheless, technologies that automate the activities of lawyers and related information processes are becoming increasingly important today. The question of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in criminal proceedings today is especially debatable both in the theory of the criminal process and in the emerging law enforcement practice. The research purpose is to study the issue of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the criminal process through the prism of the views of the theory of criminal procedure and experience in Russia and abroad in terms of its positive or negative impact on law enforcement practice. As a methodological basis of the study, the dialectical method of cognition was used, as well as comparative legal, sociological, formal legal methods, which made it possible to consider the object under study from the point of view of theory and practice, to formulate the author’s conclusion. The conducted research showed the importance of compliance of criminal procedural activity with the trends of technological progress. The introduction of artificial intelligence into the work of the bodies of inquiry, preliminary investigation, the prosecutor’s office and the court should be carried out taking into account the definition of the boundaries between legal and extralegal work that a machine can perform without violating ethical norms, rights and freedoms of a person, without contradicting his legitimate interests, as well as without endangering public and state security
