Abstract

In criminal justice systems, there is a perceived transformation in how artificial intelligence (AI) is highlighting work, as opposed to a framework that legally regulates criminal matters, through tasks that people have always performed; however, the integration of AI in criminal law has grown in recent times. These changes mark a starting point in criminal investigation and judicial decision-making, seeking to bring a focus on precision and efficiency to a system that has traditionally relied heavily on human labor. This article focuses on the transformation of criminal law in a digital era, marked by automation, efficiency that compromises justice, and data-driven decision-making. In this sense, it contextualizes AI and sets out its background, as well as reviewing how it has mutated, its implications for justice, and its application in criminal law. In the latter, AI is used in criminal investigation, analysis of digital evidence, and judicial decision-making; tasks in which risks versus efficiency must be assessed so that ethical considerations within the field –such as bias, privacy, and transparency, focusing on the fundamental rights of the people involved in the processes– and the future work of legal professionals also have a place.
