While the use of artificial intelligence in Russian courts is actively being tested, there are still very few pieces of research on the related legal problems. In this paper, the author continues his series of works dedicated to the issues of judicial principles in modern proceedings when artificial intelligence is used. The article analysed the meaning of the principle of the equality of parties and the adversarial principle. For these purposes the author analysis Russian statutes and court cases, scientific works, and the precedents of the European Court of Human Rights. In the contrast to a widely spread opinion, it is stated in this paper that the discussed principles are two separate judicial principles, though they are linked to each other. The author analysed two categories of judicial artificial intelligence systems: systems which technically assist judges; and systems which create legal opinions. The paper provides the differences between the two principles, but for both principles, the conclusion is made that the use of artificial intelligence itself does not violate these principles. However, the author introduces several examples of when the principles may become violated in the case of insufficient preparation for such modernization of judicial proceedings.
