The article analyses the prospects for the application of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice by courts. The application of artificial intelligence is increasingly spreading in various different areas of life - both in the daily life of individuals and in the public sector. One of the main areas where artificial intelligence is already being applied is in the area of justice. However, given the complexity and importance of this field, the question arises whether artificial intelligence could really replace the person of the judge. In order to answer this question, the authors first assess what constitutes the delivery of justice. Secondly, the authors analyse the concept of artificial intelligence and the possibilities of its use. Thirdly, the authors assess the potential and risks of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice. The paper reviews various artificial intelligence models already in use around the world and assesses the application of various technologies (large language models such as ChatGPT) in the court. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to whether artificial intelligence can replace the person of the judge.
