Significant changes in court processes: Artificial intelligence has also entered the field of law.

The rapidly developing use of artificial intelligence is becoming widespread in every area of life. One of these areas is law. A precedent was set in Turkey in a case opened by a landlord in Istanbul. For the first time, artificial intelligence was utilized in a rent determination case.

In the studio of Haberler.com, Lawyer Burak Evci and Dr. Ekrem Teymur, Chairman of the Board of Keltis Artificial Intelligence Inc., evaluated the use of artificial intelligence in the legal field through the rent determination case seen in the Istanbul court.

"ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR LAW"

Lawyer Burak Evci emphasized that despite being the first initiative in this field in Turkey, law is among the areas where artificial intelligence is most widely used in the world. "I can say that artificial intelligence will be very beneficial in the future, strengthening the hands of judges, and will greatly assist them in the decision-making processes after the collection of evidence and searches in this regard," he said. He pointed out the legal measures that need to be taken before the widespread use of artificial intelligence in Turkey, stating, "It is essential to specifically determine the artificial intelligence law in Turkey and the circulars, regulations, and ethical rules regarding how this law will be implemented." Referring to examples of artificial intelligence usage around the world, Evci mentioned that artificial intelligence is used for parking fines in the USA.

"SPECIAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS ARE NECESSARY FOR LAW"

In response to Abdurrahman Yazıcı's question about whether artificial intelligence could draw data from other languages for its utilization, Dr. Ekrem Teymur, Chairman of the Board of Keltis Artificial Intelligence Inc., stated, "The existing artificial intelligence tools contain information compiled from all languages. Each country has its own unique legal mechanism, and this is constantly changing." He pointed out that in the case of legal amendments, decisions made based on that law would become invalid, stating, "Therefore, it is mandatory to use specialized artificial intelligence programs in this area instead of general artificial intelligences in courts."

CAN DECISIONS FROM FOREIGN COURTS BE INTEGRATED INTO TURKISH LAW?

Evaluating how a decision made by artificial intelligence in a court in China could be integrated into the Turkish legal system, Lawyer Burak Evci stated, "Such a thing is not possible in terms of the Turkish legal system, but since our laws are derived from different countries, decisions made by foreign courts can be beneficial for the development of laws and the improvement of court decisions when new developments arise. Law is a living organism. It would also be appropriate to translate the decisions made by the European Court of Human Rights into Turkish and for them to be considered by legal professionals in the upcoming trials," he said.

CAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BE FAIR?

The issue of using artificial intelligence in courts undoubtedly needs to be examined from the perspective of the concept of justice. In response to Abdurrahman Yazıcı's question, "Can artificial intelligence be fair?", Ekrem Teymur stated, "I believe that the decisions made by artificial intelligence will be fairer than those made by an average human." Noting that artificial intelligence does not have a psychology or a past, Teymur pointed out that while judges may unintentionally make some wrong decisions, artificial intelligence does not have such a problem. "Artificial intelligence does not get tired," said Teymur, adding that while artificial intelligence cannot be a direct decision-maker in the initial stage, it can assist judges and make their work easier.
