本研究主要是探索目前臺灣司法實務上與人工智慧之間合作與協作的現況,以及2023年台灣在司法體系上首次應用國民法官制度,讓一般民眾列席庭上與職業法官共同審理案件等,將學者專家和一般民眾對司法實務的觀點做出交叉分析,試圖找出共同點與不同點之間的差異,提供司法界與學術界,甚至一般民眾及有興趣追求真理和知識實務者等參考,未來攜手為臺灣司法實務推向新的里程。 在質化研究和量化實證研究中發現,問卷中受訪的台灣民眾對於國民法官制度抱持猶豫態度,只有一部分民眾年齡介於29-48歲之間的族群是期待與認同,不認同的族群中則以18-28歲為最年輕族群,這是值得後續研究和觀察之處。其次,對於我國司法界研擬未來將會導入AI人工智慧審判,雖然目前看法是兩極化。但經由本研究分析結果後發現,小額訴訟導入AI人工智慧審判獲得臺灣民眾支持,同時也獲得司法實務專業人員的支持。因為小額訴訟的特性適合作為導入AI人工智慧審判的試點和起點。本研究經過交叉分析的結果得到驗證,AI人工智慧與司法實務之合作與協作確實不是未來式,是現在進行式。 本研究論文只是開端,相信日後應該會有更多莘莘學子和對此領域有興趣之研究者持續不斷深耕鑽研,深信未來將會有更大更多的後續研究,為臺灣司法實務做出偉大貢獻。
This study primarily explores the current collaboration and cooperation between artificial intelligence (AI) and the judiciary in Taiwan. It also examines the first application of the lay judge system in Taiwan's judicial system in 2023, allowing ordinary citizens to participate alongside professional judges in court proceedings. Through cross-analysis of perspectives from scholars, experts, and the general public regarding judicial practices, the study aims to identify similarities and differences, providing a stepping stone for Taiwan's judiciary to progress into a new era, with the collaboration of the legal and academic communities, as well as individuals interested in seeking truth and knowledge. Qualitative and quantitative empirical research findings indicate that the lay judge system is met with mixed expectations among the Taiwanese public, with only a portion of people expressing anticipation and acceptance, particularly among age group of 29-48 shows their expectations . The Taiwanese people interviewed in the questionnaire held a hesitant attitude towards the lay judge system. Conversely, the age group of 18-28 shows the highest level of disagreement. This aspect deserves further research and observation. Furthermore, the introduction of AI-based judging in Taiwan's judicial realm has received polarized opinions. However, analysis from this study suggests that there is public and professional support for AI-based judgment in minor claims litigation. The characteristics of minor claims litigation make them suitable as a pilot and starting point for the implementation of AI-based judging. The cross-analysis conducted in this research confirms that the collaboration and cooperation between AI and judicial practices are indeed not a future, but ongoing things. This research paper serves as a starting point, and it is believed that in the future, more dedicated researchers and students interested in this field will continue to delve deeper, leading to even greater subsequent research contributions to Taiwan's judicial practices.
