In 2016, the smart court was raised to the strategic level of the rule of law construction in China. By 2018, the national smart court construction has taken shape. Until 2019, the smart court construction structure in China has basically taken shape. Information technology development of courts through the application and integration of artificial intelligence technology, courts shall take into account the value level of justice for the people and fairness and justice, adopt a series of information technology means to achieve an integrated judicial model of online handling, open processes and intelligent services, and promote the modernization, fairness, convenience and scientization of the judicial capacity in a multi-faceted manner. However, there are some drawbacks and difficulties in the construction of wisdom courts. For example, the collaboration and linkage among various systems are limited in authority, failing to form a joint force for reform; and some judicial data involving national security and individual privacy are also at risk of leakage. Based on the prospect of the construction of smart court, it is necessary to uphold the judicial justice to the maximum, build a layered system connection and sharing mechanism, protect data security through both internal and external aspects, and promote the construction of smart court to flourish in the information age of 4.0 based on the existing construction experience and practice.
