Abstract

Given the experiences and research that consistently demonstrate the viability of applying artificial intelligence methods to the practice of justice, the shift to digital justice is no longer a pipe dream. In light of this, and in an effort to stay up with the worldwide digital revolution, the Sultanate of Oman is developing new tools and channels that will allow it to take advantage of the latest advancements in technology and advance its e-government initiatives. The Sultanate of Oman's government services could undergo a revolution thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which can increase output and efficiency, automate tedious jobs, and free up service providers' time for more intricate and valuable work. The recipients of the government services would profit from these benefits. One of the primary pillars that the Sultanate of Oman is keen to develop and continuously improve is the use of AI. Other key pillars include improving productive efficiency and streamlining procedures, providing remarkable effort and cost, and accomplishing goals with high efficiency and effectiveness that is worthy of the message of justice. However, utilizing AI carries some concerns, such as the potential for bias, an impact on the legal system, and possibilities of attacks on data and information privacy. These risks could lead to legal issues when using AI technology. This study looks at the challenge of striking a balance between the potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in the judiciary system, as well as its significance and potential uses.
