Legal AI, Natural Language ProcessingAbstract
This work examines the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the transformation of the Brazilian legal ecosystem, in light of the high volume of cases and the operational limitations of the Judiciary. Additionally, we present an overview of initiatives originating both from academia and the Judiciary itself aimed at reducing task execution time and alleviating the burden on teams responsible for manual analysis.
