China unveils FaXin AI to boost legal efficiency with the aim to ensure that AI applications in the legal sector remain secure.
China’s Supreme People’s Court announced the introduction of a national large AI model designed to enhance the efficiency and application of AI technologies within the legal field, such as improving judicial paperwork processes. This announcement was made at a press conference on Friday.
Yu Maoyu, editor-in-chief of the People’s Court Press, which developed the FaXin foundation model, explained that it aims to deeply integrate advanced technology with judicial work. The goal is to ensure AI applications within the legal sector remain safe and effectively managed by maintaining control over the technology and data content.
FaXin is a generative AI foundational model created using deep-learning techniques and an extensive database, with a focus on applications within the legal profession. It is pre-trained with vast, authoritative law-related data, offering high-quality and credible legal resources, according to Yu.
The model’s database contains 320 million entries, including legal documents, court judgments, cases, articles, and related materials, amounting to 3.67 trillion Chinese characters on multiple legal data platforms. The content has undergone careful and expert annotation to enhance its utility.
Through this training, FaXin has developed fundamental skills in understanding legal terminology, logical reasoning, integrated searching, and content generation. Yu noted that in judicial applications, the model will assist legal professionals in managing documents, boosting the accuracy and productivity of their work, ensuring consistent legal applications, and promoting fairer judicial decisions.
The model also aims to bolster supervision capabilities, minimizing errors in law enforcement and judicial operations.
Yu shared that a court in Shenzhen has already seen improvements in efficiency and quality of work due to the model. Additionally, a smart search system built on the model will soon be launched for pilot testing to serve as an AI tool for legal professionals.
Zhang Chengbing, a senior editor with the People’s Court Press, highlighted that the public will also be able to utilize the model for legal advice tailored to their unique circumstances, making legal consultation services more accessible and convenient.
