Prospects and Risks of Using Artificial Intelligence in Legal Analytics and Legislative Activities

The article examines the key prospects and risks of using artificial intelligence (AI) in legislative activities and legal analytics in Russia and abroad. The relevance of the topic is driven by the growing application of AI in various areas of legal practice, including lawmaking, coupled with the insufficient level of its scholarly exploration. It is noted that AI in legal analytics enables rapid identification of laws regulating similar social relations, compilation of relevant legal materials, detection of legal conflicts, and identification of gaps in legal regulation. AI also facilitates prompt analysis of legal norms or enforcement mechanisms. However, adequate algorithms must be developed for automated processing and classification of regulatory acts, as even within a single legal system, they vary in form and structure. The analytical system must be capable of adapting to diverse data sources. The use of AI in lawmaking offers several advantages: a significant acceleration of data processing; identification of trends, errors, and contradictions in large volumes of information; rapid comparison of documents and drafting (or proposing) new texts based on existing templates. The following drawbacks have been identified: the risk of AI making incorrect decisions or exhibiting bias in drafting legislation; automated drafting of bills may reduce human influence on the legislative process, potentially undermining fundamental democratic principles and leading to catastrophic consequences.
