A inteligência artificial na atividade-fim do Ministério Público do Estado de Pernambuco: o Projeto Assessora

Abstract

Social transformations and the context of cyberculture have led to the technological progress and the implementation of artificial intelligence tools (AI), in the Brazilian legal system and have reached the Public Prosecutor's Office. Given this scenario, this dissertation aims to study the use of artificial intelligence, called the Advisory Project, within the scope of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Pernambuco - MPPE, which stands out as a pioneer in the construction of technological innovations that automate the preparation of procedural documents inherent to the core activity of its members. The research aims to discuss the moral and ethical implications of this use, taking into account the changes in the digital society and the challenges faced by the legal system. The methodology used comprises a theoretical-discursive analysis of the topic, supported by specialized bibliography, scientific articles and consultation of institutional websites. The first chapter contextualizes the transformation of society in a digital era and how this transformation affects the legal world. Next, there is a historical analysis of the evolution of artificial intelligence to enable an understanding of the path taken from its origins to the current era of automation and machine learning. In the second chapter, the dissertation explores the concept of artificial intelligence, focusing on its cognitive capabilities, and presents a simplified understanding of its functioning to provide the necessary knowledge on the topic. The following chapter addresses ethical issues related to the use of AI and its main risks, with an emphasis on the ethical implications in procedural logistics, such as decision-making, interpretation and application of norms by the intelligent system. The research continues to examine the constitutional foundations and responsibilities of the Public Prosecutor's Office, highlighting its role in protecting democratic values and human rights. In the last topic, the functioning and attributes of the Advisory Project at MPPE are analyzed, and how this innovation affected the major parquet activity. Finally, it is observed that AI, at the current time, is not capable of applying or interpreting legal norms based on values, like a human being, in this case, a prosecutor. Thus, even if it promotes procedural speed, such a characteristic can hinder the proper exercise of ministerial duties, put at risk the safeguarding of rights already enshrined and affect the development and evolution of Law.
