This in-depth research explores the emerging relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and legal systems by addressing key questions and understanding the evolution of global justice systems. This study focuses on the role of AI in strengthening the efficiency and objectivity of the judiciary, especially through the application of AI as judges in countries such as China and Estonia. This research aims to systematically analyse these developments, examining how AI is being integrated into justice systems in different parts of the world with challenges related to ethics, accountability, and human rights. The study results show that the integration of AI in the legal system brings increased efficiency and potential for transparency but also raises serious concerns about bias in AI algorithms, limitations in interpreting complex laws, and the impact on human rights principles. The main findings of this research show that the integration of AI in the legal system contains great potential for transformation but also requires a careful approach. While AI can improve the efficiency and quality of decision-making, it is important that AI is developed and implemented within a solid legal and ethical framework that respects human rights and maintains the justice system's integrity. This research emphasizes the need to consider each country's unique legal, cultural, and social context when adopting AI into their legal systems.
