The article discusses the legal framework governing this process, as well as the theoretical and legal analysis of the phenomenon of artificial intelligence in the new legal reality. Special attention is paid to the value and essential characteristics of artificial intelligence in justice, its types and components from the standpoint of the methodology of law. Moreover, the objectives, principles, scope and system of the use of artificial intelligence in legal proceedings, as well as measures of state support for this process are analyzed. The research shows that the process of introducing artificial intelligence into legal proceedings is complex and requires serious legal understanding of these technologies in the context of justice administration. The author draws conclusions concerning effectiveness and pragmatism of the process of integrating artificial intelligence into the judicial system of the People’s Republic of China. However, a fully automated process of justice in the courts of the People’s Republic of China can lead to extremely negative consequences for the judicial system, which may cause distrust to the judicial method of protecting rights and reduce society’s commitment to basic socialist values and customs.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Предметом исследования являются общественные отношения, возникающие в процессе интегрирования технологий искусственного интеллекта в судопроизводство Китайской Народной Республики (КНР). Рассматривается правовая основа, регламентирующая данный процесс, а также осуществляется теоретико-правовой анализ феномена искусственного интеллекта в новой правовой реальности. Особое внимание уделено исследованию ценностных и сущностных характеристик искусственного интеллекта в правосудии, его видам и составляющим с позиции методологии права. Кроме того, проанализированы цели, принципы, сфера и система применения искусственного интеллекта в судопроизводстве, а также меры государственной поддержки данного процесса. В ходе исследования доказано, что процесс внедрения искусственного интеллекта в судопроизводство является сложным и требует серьезного правового осмысления данных технологий в контексте осуществления правосудия. Автором сделаны выводы об эффективности и прагматичности процесса интегрирования искусственного интеллекта в судебную систему КНР. Однако полностью автоматизированный процесс осуществления правосудия в судах КНР может привести к крайне негативным последствиям для судебной системы, что повлечет недоверие граждан к судебному способу защиты прав и снижению приверженности общества к основным социалистическим ценностям и обычаям.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>PRC</kwd><kwd>principles</kwd><kwd>self-executing code</kwd><kwd>justice</kwd><kwd>nanoanalysis</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>КНР</kwd><kwd>принципы</kwd><kwd>самоисполняемый код</kwd><kwd>правосудие</kwd><kwd>наноанализ</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The study is funded by the grant of the Russian Science Foundation  No. 23-28-00157, https://rscf.ru/project/23-28-00157/</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда № 23-28-00157, https://rscf.ru/project/23-28-00157/</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bashilov, B.I. &amp; Berman, A.M.
