Conditions for Achieving Digital Justice

Artificial intelligence represents a transformative force destined to re-ontologise all human interaction environments, including the legal space, adapting their internal structure to technological efficiency within a socio-technical system. This paradigm shift also alters the concept of the rule of law because it affects the communicative participation of the subject in decision-making processes. Judicial decision-making also experiences these changes. That is a vital space considered by the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ as central to promoting peaceful and inclusive societies oriented towards sustainable development within an effective and accountable institutional framework. The chapter aims to problematise and theorise some conditions that could make digital justice sustainable, emphasising human-machine cooperation as a symbiotic procedural interaction capable of methodologically leading judicial decision-making in a human-led socio-technical ecosystem in which technical practices serve not only to design but also to understand and use those techniques. In this view, formal conditions of the judgment validity remain decisive.
