Digitalization of Civil Procedure and AI: the European Perspective
Abstract
The study is a written version of the author's presentation given at the international conference "AI and Law" organized at Pázmány Péter Catholic University on January 26, 2024. The author explains the current initiatives of the EU in the field of digital justice and how the Commission has been able to take the technological lead in cross-border digital judicial cooperation. The paper demonstrates a parallel development, closely related to judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters, where a newly established international court in patent matters is offering a modern, totally digitalized procedure that has been immediately accepted by stakeholders from all parts of the world. Finally, the author looks at the prospects of the future developments of the usage of AI in the settlement of civil and commercial disputes in the EU.
