Abstract

Background: This paper focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking (legal regulation, administrative and criminal aspects).

Methods: With the help of analytical methods, the available data, scientific sources of information on the use of Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking. The most common applications that are created on the basis of Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking and can be used in the process of exercising a person’s right to access the court and in the process of preparing a judge to administer justice.

Microsoft Copilot (formerly Bing Chat) is an Artificial Intelligence tool developed by Microsoft Corporation together with OpenAI. The main task of this tool is to work with files on a computer and increase the efficiency of work on a personal computer: Creating documents and presentations, editing photos, organizing files, helping during or after meetings in Microsoft Teams, writing a letter in Outlook, etc.

Results: This article explores the nature of Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking in foreign countries, particularly in criminal justice. It is justified that the use of Artificial Intelligence in courts will improve the quality of court decisions and increase the efficiency and objectivity of justice. In 2023, a US federal court ruled on the possibility of registering a copyright for a work of fine art created by Artificial Intelligence DABUS (United States District Court for the District of Columbia [2023]: Thaler v. Perlmutter, No. 22-CV-384-1564-BAH).

Conclusion: It should be noted that the introduction of legal regulation of Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking is critically important to ensure its safe and ethical use. International cooperation and harmonization of regulatory frameworks can contribute to the creation of an effective regulatory system that takes into account the interests of all parties and promotes the development of innovations, while protecting human rights and freedoms. Thus, the analysis of large volumes of data can reveal patterns and trends in court decisions and in general in the activities of public administration bodies, and software can influence risk forecasting. A number of serious challenges and risks are associated with the purpose of securing personal data and
the validity of court decisions using Artificial Intelligence technologies in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking. According to the results of the research, it was proved that Artificial Intelligence in combating offenses in the field of illegal drug trafficking is possible only if effective legal mechanisms are introduced, which allow coordinating and regulating the mentioned processes.
