Similarly, in the field of criminal justice.
Hence, the importance of this research becomes clear, which revolves around the necessity of having a special legal system that regulates the work of artificial intelligence entities. One of the most important objectives of the research is to demonstrate the danger of artificial intelligence at the legal level, with regard to civil rights, and the extent to which it respects personal data, or the right to privacy.
The research’s problem revolves around: “Does national legislation provide adequate protection for the use of artificial intelligence without violating legal rights?” To answer this problem, the researchers used the analytical method because it is more in line with the research requirements and the proposed solutions to the problem. The research paper discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on civil rights, in the first section, and then the second section discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on criminal justice.

The research also recommended the need for there to be an official national and international body that monitors and supervises the development of artificial intelligence entities, and the need for deterrent penalties when artificial intelligence is used in violation of the law.
