THE Philippine Supreme Court and the United States are moving to deepen cooperation on cybercrime, artificial intelligence and other emerging threats as the judiciary pushes ahead with its modernization agenda.
Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo welcomed US State Department Office of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Director Navarro Moore and his delegation during a courtesy visit to the Supreme Court early this week.
Gesmundo thanked the INL for its sustained support for the Philippine Judiciary through judicial education and training programs aimed at strengthening the capabilities of judges and court personnel.
The partnership has covered specialized areas including digital evidence, artificial intelligence, cybercrime and transnational organized crime — issues that are increasingly shaping the administration of justice.
Gesmundo said the initiatives complement the judiciary’s Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022-2027, which seeks to build a more efficient, innovative and accessible justice system through technology and continuing institutional development.
