About half of Brazil’s courts have AI projects in operation or under development.92 In 2021 there were 64 AI tools in 47 courts, in addition to the platform operated by the National Council of Justice (CNJ), with applications ranging from the transcription of hearings and drafting suggestions to the judgment of admissibility of appeals and the calculation of the probability of decision reversals. [...] The first was the hiring of a specialised AI consultancy, with the objective of carrying out a study on the potential social and economic impacts of the large-scale use of AI tools and the presentation of proposals to mitigate any negative effects arising from this use. [...] In view of the importance of access to data for the development of machine learning, the CNJ also established, through Resolution 334/2020, the Advisory Committee on Open Data and Data Protection within the scope of the Brazilian Judiciary. [...] The Committee’s objective is to assist the CNJ in the construction of data access policies that balance the demands of transparency and technological development, on the one hand, and, on the other, the need to protect the data of individuals mentioned in the context of court documents, establishing standards and technical and administrative measures for appropriate processing of judicial data.101. [...] What is the role of the national bar organisations or other official professional institutions? In 2018, the Brazilian National Bar Association (OAB) announced the creation of the Artificial Intelligence Coordination to regulate the use of AI in the legal profession.
