Artificial Intelligence
Continuous innovation is a key part of how the Court works. Responsible use of artificial intelligence is part of that innovation.
The Court of Justice of the European Union is committed to continuous innovation. In order to serve the EU and its citizens in an ever-changing world, the Court must be prepared to embrace new technologies.
Reflecting this commitment, the institution had begun exploring the integration of AI and other emerging technologies well before AI gained prominence.
An Innovation Lab dedicated to testing the latest innovations and their potential applications within the institution was set up in 2019.
In 2023, the Court formally adopted its AI strategy, following which an AI Management Board was established. Composed of Members of both courts as well as representatives of the administration, the Board ensures that the technological choices made by the institution in integrating AI-based tools are ethically sound.
The Court is committed to developing, deploying and using Artificial Intelligence in accordance with EU values, as enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, in order to promote human-centric and trustworthy AI. When dealing with AI systems, the Court has operated and will continue to operate in strict compliance with applicable legal rules, as laid down, in particular, in the EU Data Protection Regulation and in the AI Act.
In 2026, following the work of the AI Management Board, the Court adopted an Artificial Intelligence Ethics Charter, setting out a series of ethical standards and measures intended to promote responsible AI use and mitigate the inherent risks.
Applying this Charter, the Court will both embrace the advantages that AI has to offer and avoid any possible negative impact of its use on the Court’s judicial and administrative processes.
