"This book has proven the successful and possible application of multimodal means to interpret the law. It makes great contribution to argue the possibility and feasibility of integrating high techs into the judicial field and offers an excellent example to follow for the future judicial reform. All in all, it can be foreseen that the "Shanghai Experience" has served successfully as an example to follow not only in the judicial field but also in other aspects of research and development." (Le Cheng and Fei Xie, International Journal for the Semiotics of Law, Vol. 34, 2021)
"This is a well-written, interesting, and useful book for practicing engineers, researchers, and policymakers interested in China's efforts at judicial modernization using AI." (S. Ramakrishnan, Computing Reviews, February 19, 2021)
Preface: Leading edge of science and technology and be synchronized with The Times——artificial intelligence helps judicial reform and judicial modernization.- The Theory:Artificial intelligence and judicature ——the inevitable course to realize judicature modernization.- The Practice: Artificial intelligence helps judicial reform——reform of the litigation system centered on trial.- The Expectation: Opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence ——constructing the future rule of law of artificial intelligence.
Yadong Cui, the former secretary and President of Party Committee of Shanghai Senior People's Court , and now the secretary and President of Party Committee of Shanghai Law Society. He delivered a keynote speech on "artificial intelligence and judicial modernization" at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2018 “AI and Law” Forum.
This book comprehensively describes the status quo of artificial intelligence technology applications in the judicial field in China. Written by Cui Yadong, the former President of Shanghai Senior People's Court, it is divided into three parts: the first part focuses mainly on the theoretical issues related to artificial intelligence and judicial applications. The second part highlights practical aspects, discussing the research and development process, the implementation of the"206 system" and the major breakthroughs. The third part then addresses lessons learned and the thinking, particularly the thinking on "building the future rule of law of artificial intelligence", a new topic that responds to people's concerns about the risks and challenges of the development of artificial intelligence. In this context, the book argues that the judicial task is twofold: On the one hand, it should actively promote the integration and application of AI in the judiciary, judicial intelligence, and judicial modernization. On the other hand, it should encourage the construction of a future rule of law system of artificial intelligence, highlight the role of the judiciary in dealing with future risks and challenges, bring the development of artificial intelligence into line with the rule of law, and use the rule of law to promote, standardize and guarantee the safe, reliable and controllable development of artificial intelligence.
