The influence of artificial intelligence in legal practices was the initial subject addressed in the 7th Panel of the XIV International Congress on Human Rights, in the early afternoon of Friday (October 21st), with the theme on: “Technological Advances in the Judiciary, Human Rights and the New Paradigms of Post-Pandemic Labor Law”.
The panel was mediated by the Doctor in Law and Professor Valter Moura do Carmo, and counted with the participation of the panelists Fausto Santos de Moraes, Doctor and Master in Public Law; Alberto Antonio M. Sánchez, Doctor in Administration Sciences and Master in Technology Administration (Mexico); and Álisson José Maia Melo, Doctor in Law and Professor.
Influence of the Intelligence
Besides talking about the influence of the artificial intelligence in legal practices, Fausto Moraes reflected on whether it is possible to think about replacing jurists with robots, and addressed the possible consequences of this.
His explanation focused on four main themes: Law and artificial intelligence, legal epistemology, regulation and risks. For the panelist, artificial intelligence will never replace the jurist, because legal knowledge has its own epistemological character and the one who dominates this epistemological character is the one who has legal knowledge.
For this artificial intelligence to work, according to the speaker, there needs to be a modeling of legal reasoning, be it simple or complex: “We need legal reasoning to perform a routine judicial task, and we also need legal reasoning to solve highly complex problems”, he pointed out.
Teleworking
Alberto Sánchez, in turn, presented a diagnosis of the implementation of technological tools in the Judiciary of Mexico to talk about teleworking from the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the opportunity, the speaker made a parallel between the working conditions in the Brazilian and Mexican Judiciary, highlighting the digital gap in the Mexican Judiciary pointed out in the diagnosis.
In addition to the lack of structural conditions for remote work, Sánchez cited the fact that there is no set schedule for this type of work.
Technological advances and social relations
Closing the panel, Professor Álissons Maia spoke about the technological advances in social relations. According to the lecturer, the labor rights were the first to be created, establishing themselves between the social and the economic areas. For the lecturer, labor is an important pillar in the construction of human rights.
During his explanation, Maia spoke about the evolution of the Brazilian legislation, presenting some labor laws. And he approached the labor relations in the pandemic, commenting on how workers have migrated to telecommuting.
For the lecturer, one of the most impacting facts was unemployment, which ended up increasing informality. According to the professor, the employment paradigm is in check and he calls attention to the voluntary dismissals that have increased in the country.
As for the new paradigms of the labor Law, Maia listed the new business culture, new labor claims and new syndicalism as an answer.
