Abstract
In recent decades, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about significant changes in various legal fields, especially international criminal law. This new and sophisticated technology, with capabilities such as crime prediction, accurate analysis of behavioral patterns, and facilitation of the judicial decision-making process, has the potential to significantly optimize and streamline judicial and legal processes. However, the widespread introduction of AI into the criminal justice system is accompanied by serious challenges and threats to the fundamental principles of human rights and justice; including racial and social discrimination, widespread violations of privacy, and serious ambiguity in the precise determination of criminal liability. The present article, with an analytical and critical approach, examines the emerging threats arising from the application of AI in the context of international criminal law and offers effective solutions to face these challenges. Finally, the author presents practical and executive suggestions for developing new legal frameworks to ensure justice, promote transparency, and protect fundamental human rights in the era of smart and transformative technology.
