Introduction of Artificial Intelligence in the Justice System

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to determine ways to introduce artificial intelligence into the Ukrainian justice system. [Methodology/Approach/Design] The methodological basis of the study consists of theoretical and specialised legal methods: philosophical approaches, general and special methods of modern legal science, which are to interpret the law, and also general scientific styles. [Findings] During the study, the features of the use of artificial intelligence in the justice system were established and an analysis of international experience in the use of artificial intelligence in the justice system was conducted, which allowed identifying positive and negative aspects in the practice of other countries. In addition, problems that may hinder the development of artificial intelligence in the justice system of Ukraine and positive trends in the introduction of this innovative communication technology were identified. Based on the identified disadvantages and advantages of using artificial intelligence in justice, it was determined which systems should be implemented in the Ukrainian justice system, in particular the ‘judge's companion’ system. However, it is evident that at the moment artificial intelligence cannot completely replace people

Development of small hydroenergy in Ukraine and its legal regulation

The state and prospects of small hydropower development in the context of rationalization of the use of available natural resource potential of Ukraine were considered. It was established that due to insignificant specific weight in the general energy balance, small hydropower cannot significantly affect the structure of energy supply of the country. Attention was drawn to the fact that the adopted State Target Economic Program for Energy Efficiency and the Development of Energy Saving for Renewable Energy Sources and Alternative Fuels for 2010-2020 will promote the use of the potential of small rivers and the development of hydropower. It was noted that the conducted calculations for the future with the help of correlation analysis of installed capacities and production of electricity by small hydropower objects showed that in 2020, at the current rate of development of small hydropower, the planned indicators will not be achieved. The legal principles of functioning of the market of electric energy and formation of relations connected with the development of small hydropower, which are regulated by the Laws of Ukraine and other legislative acts in the field of fuel and energy complex were described
