Cross-border AI governance for legal tech: Standardizing ethical and legal norms in access to justice


Author(s): Rajesh Ghoshal

Abstract: The research examines the influence of AI governance structures on access to justice throughout the EU, U.S., Canada, Australia, and China. The problem emerges because separate AI regulations form obstacles for legal AI applications that operate between borders through automated dispute resolution and legal aid chatbots and predictive analytics for case law. The research investigates three essential questions about AI governance models. A standardized AI governance structure would improve worldwide access to justice. What policy recommendations will enable AI-driven legal innovation together with accountability and fairness? The research uses comparative legal analysis together with regulatory impact assessment and case studies of AI in justice systems. The research demonstrates that international cooperation for AI development requires the creation of interoperable standards and ethical guidelines, different regional AI regulatory methods create substantial obstacles for deploying legal tech solutions between borders which might worsen existing inequalities in justice accessibility. A standardized AI governance structure would enable better global access to justice because it would allow AI-powered legal services to operate across different jurisdictions. A global AI governance framework for legal applications should be established as a policy recommendation together with regulatory sandboxes for testing AI-driven legal innovations and international standards for AI transparency and explainability in legal contexts. The research demonstrates the necessity of balancing innovation with ethical considerations through a multi-stakeholder approach which includes policymakers together with legal professionals’ technologists and civil society members. This research generates implications which include enhancing worldwide access to justice through AI legal services and promoting international AI governance cooperation and resolving ethical issues when applying AI to legal systems. The research provides insights to policymakers and legal practitioners and technology developers who work with AI and law through its analysis of AI regulation and its effects on the legal sector.
