Artificial Intelligence to Analyze Huge Amounts of Juridical Documents via Edge Computing

The constant and continuous development of new technologies for the automatic processing of information has led to a massive growth of data and information in various areas that govern the development of social life. In recent years there has been a specific interest in the use of computer and telematic technologies in the justice sector to make the execution of processes and activities related to the management of law faster and more efficient (telematic civil process; collection, deposits and electronic archiving of provisions; minutes of hearings and documents; electronic notification of acts; etc.). Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the juridical-legal field represents a modern and advanced solution for managing the high quantity of valuable and necessary documents for carrying out justice activities. Given the particular criticality referred to the management of information and data, an architectural solution of the Edge Computing type is proposed for the localization of IT resources (of which a conceptual diagram is shown), which allows data processing in a decentralized way in opposition to the centralized one typical of Cloud Computing. Legal analytics technology, i.e., the use of various forms of AI ranging from Natural Language Processing (NLP) to Machine Learning and Data Science, can enhance the cognitive heritage represented by the jurisprudential and regulatory corpus (collection of material).
