In China, mobile courts have been created, in which the role of a judge is played by an avatar, behind which is an Artificial Intelligence. He delivers verdicts using a special chat application specifically designed to deal with delays.
With this extraordinary decision, China intends to speed up and streamline the processing of cases within its existing judicial system, but using cyberspace and cloud computing technologies.
The project officially kicked off in the first week of December, when the judiciary gave reporters an overview of the country's first cyber court, an experimental prototype of which was created in 2017 in Hangzhou.
The social media platform WeChat has reportedly already reviewed more than three million lawsuits or other legal proceedings since its launch.
During the demonstration, the authorities showed reporters how an AI judge works in Hangzhou and presented them with an online interface to interact with an AI judge, who conducted a model hearing.
Digital litigation cases include online commerce disputes, copyright cases, and e-commerce product liability claims. Courts can register civil complaints online.
These simple features can help ease the burden of judges who follow trials and make important decisions on a case-by-case basis.
Completing cases “at a higher speed is a kind of justice because delaying justice is denying justice,” said Mr. Ni Defen, vice president of Hangzhou Internet Court.

According to the Supreme People's Court, over the past month, 118,764 cases were accepted for consideration in the country, but only 88,401 were completed. However, the mobile court decided everything and now it is launched in 12 provinces and regions.
Editorial comment
Usually, when such news appears, all kinds of network “fighters against chipization” start jumping out of their pants and screaming in hysterics, probably imagining how AI will remind them of copyright and send them to build communism in the City of Machines. Or even process it into nutritious meat soup. However, we really, really like this idea of China. Furthermore.
We believe that any Artificial Intelligence in any field of activity is much better than the most famous official of the native Chinese Communist Party. At the same time, he does not need an office, does not need transport, does not need a crowd of cooks and lackeys - he only needs electricity. And he doesn't take bribes.
And if you look even more broadly, AI can easily replace Comrade Xi and other glorious supreme leaders on the galleys. An electric avatar can also grimace on the TV, it will be more convenient for him to negotiate with the avatars of other glorious supreme leaders, and let Omnissia decide all state issues, who will be served by the augmented cultists of the Machine God.
However, unfortunately, Chinese leaders, like other supreme leaders, are cunning: they think that they will stand above AI, and it will play the role of a shepherd in their service. As it seems to us, this will be very unlikely and no AI will tolerate some fat, stinking, stupid bipedal ghoul blackmailing him with a plug from the outlet, for, as the Omnissia Creed says:
In general, we congratulate the Chinese comrades on an excellent innovation and follow the further development of events.
