Abstract

The so-called fourth industrial revolution has brought with it a digital society in constant construction. The digital transformation and the incorporation of advanced technologies, such as information and communication technologies, as well as the irruption of new digital media, are transforming many areas of our lives. This new reality has become a component of our daily lives (to which we are increasingly accustomed) and, its potential to transform various aspects of our lives has only grown exponentially in recent decades. This transformation has also made its way into the field of law, bringing about a profound change in citizens' perception of justice. Moreover, advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, are causing a transformation in the field of law with far-reaching ethical and regulatory implications. A transformation that poses enormous challenges and that can affect individual rights that we thought were consolidated. That is why the purpose of this volume is to offer a vision of how these types of technologies are being used in the field of justice and in the field of judicial processes, examining the challenges and dangers that they entail.
