• Resumen

  • Despite being a relatively new development, artificial intelligence is already considered one of the most important technologies in human history. Also known as AI, artificial intelligence is used every day in an increasing number of tasks. However, AI is also a controversial topic. Despite its many benefits, specialists also warn of its risks. Amid this debate, numerous projects continue to explore new and more complex uses for this technology. One of these areas is the administration of justice. From its use as a legal information search tool to its potential deployment as an artificial judge or mediator, AI undoubtedly has the potential to bring about profound changes in the justice system in the future. In this context, the present study seeks to analyze the suitability of the current Mexican legal framework both to leverage the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and to address its challenges in the administration of justice. To this end, the case of the new civil and family justice model, which will begin upon the entry into force of the National Code of Civil and Family Procedure projected for April 2027, will be used. It is worth mentioning that the choice of civil and family procedural law is not accidental; on the contrary, the new Code stands out, among other innovations, for its special emphasis on implementing digital justice and using information and communication technologies.
