Abstract
La adopción de inteligencia artificial (IA) en el sistema judicial colombiano revela una brecha significativa entre aspiraciones y realidad. Un estudio basado en 182 personas encuestadas y 23 entrevistas a servidores judiciales, cuyos resultados convergen con la encuesta realizada directamente por el Consejo Superior de la Judicatura durante el mismo periodo, muestra que solo el 22% utiliza herramientas de IA generativa, principalmente ChatGPT en su versión gratuita (80% de los usuarios) como recurso para enfrentar la sobrecarga laboral y operativa derivada de la congestión judicial. Estos datos convergentes sugieren, además, que la principal barrera no es la falta de regulación, recursos financieros, infraestructura, herramientas o capacitación, sino un sistema que prefiere el “teatro de innovación” a la transformación digital real, protegiendo estructuras existentes bajo el pretexto de la precaución jurídica. El reporte mapea el uso actual de IA en la Rama Judicial con el fin de entender el estado actual de implementación y sugiere algunas recomendaciones para contribuir a su adopción responsable con total respeto por los derechos humanos y estándares éticos. El reporte subraya la necesidad urgente de que el CSJ adopte un enfoque integral que abarque aspectos tecnológicos, administrativos, organizacionales y normativos para optimizar y acelerar la implementación tangible de IA en la justicia colombiana.

A study based on 182 people surveyed and 23 interviews with judicial officials, whose results converge with the survey conducted directly by the Superior Council of the Judiciary during the same period, shows that only 22% use generative AI tools, mainly ChatGPT in its free version (80% of users) as a resource to cope with the work and operational overload resulting from judicial congestion. These converging data also suggest that the main barrier is not the lack of regulation, financial resources, infrastructure, or training, but rather a system that prefers “innovation theater” to real digital transformation, protecting existing structures under the pretext of legal caution. The report maps the current use of AI in the Judicial Branch in order to understand the current state of implementation and suggests some recommendations to contribute to its responsible adoption with full respect for human rights and ethical standards. The report highlights the urgent need for the CSJ to adopt a comprehensive approach that encompasses technological, administrative, organizational, and regulatory aspects to optimize and accelerate the tangible implementation of AI in the Colombian justice system.
