Russia proposes sharing justice AI experience with China
Russia’s top court head proposed sharing justice AI experience with China during a meeting with Chinese Justice Minister He Rong.
The proposal concerns the use of artificial intelligence in legal and court services.
China is developing linked in-person, phone and online services to provide legal help around the clock.
Its plans include using AI, blockchain and large datasets to support advice and casework.
In September, Krasnov approved a Russian plan for AI in court work, which includes protections for people’s rights and freedoms.
He called for Russian and Chinese specialists to exchange knowledge and professional practices; no further steps were specified.
Russian Supreme Court Chairman Igor Krasnov proposed that Russia and China exchange experience in using artificial intelligence in the justice system.
He made the proposal at a meeting with Chinese Justice Minister He Rong.
Krasnov pointed to China’s electronic systems for providing legal services around the clock.
He also cited Russia’s September 2026 concept for introducing AI into court work, which includes safeguards for human rights and freedoms.
During his visit to China, Krasnov visited the Beijing Financial Court, which uses AI to process and assess legal claims.
