CROSS-BORDER RECOGNITION OF AI-ENHANCED JUDICIAL DECISIONS: INTERNATIONAL LAW PERSPECTIVES
Keywords:

This study examines the emerging challenges and legal frameworks surrounding the cross-border recognition of judicial decisions that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) systems in their reasoning or decision-making processes. As courts worldwide increasingly adopt AI tools to enhance judicial efficiency and decision-making, questions arise about the international recognition and enforcement of such decisions under existing legal frameworks. This research analyzes the intersection of AI-enhanced judicial decisions with traditional principles of international law, focusing on the New York Convention and the Hague Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. Through a comprehensive analysis of current legal frameworks, case studies, and emerging practices, this study identifies key challenges and proposes potential solutions for harmonizing the recognition of AI-enhanced judicial decisions across jurisdictions. The findings suggest that while existing international legal frameworks can accommodate AI-enhanced decisions, significant modifications may be necessary to address specific challenges related to transparency, explainability, and fundamental principles of justice.
