The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation issued Order No. 59-P on September 3, 2026, approving a concept for integrating artificial intelligence into the judicial system. The document outlines the principles, goals, and tasks for AI implementation, emphasizing that AI will serve as an auxiliary tool for judges rather than a replacement.
Key principles include human rights protection, transparency, auditability, and the use of domestic technologies. The concept mandates that AI systems must be verifiable and provide detailed logs. The primary focus is on automating document processing, case classification, and supporting judicial proceedings, with the Russian State University of Justice tasked with training.
The roadmap sets specific targets for 2030, including a 95% adoption rate of AI services among judges and at least 30% among other legal participants. The plan also targets that 30–50% of procedural documents should be AI-generated, with at least 80% of those requiring no significant revisions by judges.
Additional performance metrics include achieving at least 90% accuracy in evidence analysis and contradiction detection by 2030. Furthermore, the system aims to reduce the time required for judges to search for relevant judicial acts to no more than 3 seconds. The current implementation plan is detailed through the second quarter of 2027.
