Artificial intelligence takes over as prosecutor in China


According to the South China Morning Post on Monday, the AI ​​gained prosecutorial skills after examining more than 17,000 cases in Shanghai courts from 2015 to 2020. The "digital prosecutor" makes charges with 97% accuracy, based on one thousand "characteristic features" that he identifies in court documents in specific criminal cases.

“Artificial intelligence can to some extent replace prosecutors in the decision-making process, as well as assist them in drafting indictments, which will reduce their daily workload and enable prosecutors to focus on more important matters,” the newspaper notes.
At first, the "digital prosecutor" is able to bring charges on the eight most common crimes in Shanghai, such as credit card fraud, gambling, dangerous driving, deliberate injury, obstructing government officials in the performance of official duties, theft, fraud, notes newspaper. Scientists believe that in the future, AI will be able to issue charges for more resonant crimes.

China was the first in the world to use AI technologies in the work of the prosecutor's office. In 2016, the country began using technology capable of assessing evidence, conditions of arrest and determining how much a suspect in a crime could be dangerous to society.
