Artificial intelligence is already part of judicial processes: from evidence analysis tools to decision support systems. But a central question arises for criminal procedural law: can—and should—AI participate in the evaluation of evidence, or should its role be limited to assisting without replacing human judgment?

Where is the line between artificial intelligence assisting in the analysis of evidence and it ultimately deciding for the judge? What procedural safeguards are at stake?

Nicolás M. Grandi, professor of the postgraduate program in Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Proceedings at the Universidad Austral and researcher at the Observatory of Cybercrime and Digital Evidence in Criminal Investigations (OCEDIC), will address this debate from his academic and research experience in criminal law, cybercrime and artificial intelligence.
