Ai In Big Data in Criminal Investigation: Procedural Safeguards and Human Rights Risks

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for improving procedural safeguards when using AI and big data in criminal investigations in Azerbaijan, considering the existing safeguards and risks that exist in the Azerbaijani legal system. This normative-legal study examines national and international laws pertaining to artificial intelligence in criminal justice using comparative and black-letter legal techniques. Due to the dearth of local research, it synthesizes scholarly material and adapts international approaches to the Azerbaijani setting. In results It has been demonstrated that the application of AI influences the development of human rights hazards, including the denial of access to algorithms, the possibility of discrimination, and the restriction of appeal procedures. The establishment of unique control and supervision mechanisms for the use of AI, as well as compatibility with international norms, are necessary due to the notable gaps in Azerbaijani legislation. Therefore, to enhance procedural guarantees in Azerbaijan, it is suggested that: establish and approve ethical standards for the use of AI in criminal proceedings; codify the rights of parties to transparency in algorithmic decisions and access to information about how AI works; and introduce legislative norms governing appeal procedures for AI-based decisions. In conclusion it is shown that a significant prospective direction is the study of the interaction between technological innovations and legal institutions to shape modern regulatory frameworks.
