The president of the Permanent College of Directors of State Schools of the Magistracy (Copedem) and general director of the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (Esmat), Doctor Professor and Justice Marco Anthony Steveson Villas Boas, participated in the morning of this Friday (10th), in the city of Palmas, in an event promoted by the State Prosecution (MPTO) focused on reflection on the impacts, challenges and potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (IAGen) within the Justice System and public administration.

Addressed to the staff and prosecutors of the MPTO, the meeting marked the launch of the "MPTO + Digital" program and the governance policy of the institution in artificial intelligence, bringing together experts around a practical and strategic approach to innovation in the public sector, with emphasis on the construction of technological solutions aimed at improving services provided to society.

In his presentation, entitled: "Generative AI in the State Prosecution", Marco Villas Boas addressed the historical context of digital automation of judicial provision in the state of Tocantins, highlighting the recent evolution of artificial intelligence tools and their repercussions on contemporary legal activity. In his presentation, he argued that AI should be understood as an instrument of qualified support to legal reasoning, never as a substitute for technical analysis, institutional prudence and human responsibility in decision-making.

The doctor professor highlighted that artificial intelligence can offer relevant contributions to the acceleration of legal research, the organization of evidence and precedents, the elaboration of drafts and the strengthening of argumentative consistency of decisions, as long as its use is conditioned on rigorous human review, methodological transparency, and institutional commitment to ethics, safety, and reliability.

Innovation, research and institutional accountability

The exhibition also highlighted the trajectory of Marco Villas Boas in the field of innovation applied to the Justice System, as well as his involvement in research and training initiatives aimed at the responsible use of technology, such as the Hórus Project (USP/COPEDEM/ESMAT), reference in the development of studies and methodologies related to artificial intelligence in the legal environment.

In addressing the risks inherent in the unconsidered use of these tools, the justice warned about the occurrence of hallucinations, inconsistencies and potential interpretive distortions, especially in contexts involving complex and sensitive legal issues. In response to this scenario, he presented the Multi-Response Dialogical Method (DMR), a proposal that seeks to qualify the interaction between the legal professional and the AI tool, through the exploration of multiple argumentative possibilities, the critical analysis of the responses produced and the preservation of the decision-making autonomy of the public agent.

At the end of his participation, Marco Villas Boas highlighted the transformative character of the current technological revolution, pointing out that artificial intelligence inaugurates a new dynamic of integration of technology to various institutional environments.

“We are experiencing a new revolutionary process linked to Information Technology (IT). With these advances, we can say that AI has taken IT out of IT and brought it to other digital environments,' he said.
