📋 Tender Overview
A strategic innovation partnership with IBM should enable the broad use of artificial intelligence in the judiciary through innovation and digital sovereignty based on open source and open architectures. The Ministry of Justice and for Migration Baden-Wurttemberg and go into a strategic innovation partnership in the area of the area. Together, AI projects in the judiciary are to be realized on the basis of the. In addition, IBM supports the conception, architecture and implementation of various AI applications in the judiciary. The aim of the cooperation is to enable the broad use of AI in the judiciary through innovation and digital sovereignty based on open source and open architectures. The Ministry of Justice Baden-Wurttemberg and IBM have been working successfully together in the field of AI projects since 2022. The Ministry of Justice Baden-Wurttemberg at an early stage played a leading role in the responsible use of AI in the judiciary in Germany-supported by the technological expertise and innovative strength of IBM. In April 2025, IBM prevailed in an open award procedure and received the contract for a multi-year technology and service framework. The Ministry of Justice Baden-Wurttemberg and IBM can continue the successful cooperation on this basis. What is special is the holistic platform idea of the IBM Watsonx technologies. The focus is on freedom of choice, transparency as well as control over data and operation. This is exactly what the partnership is based on open architectures, on-premises options and the opportunity to train and operate models in a comprehensible manner. In a short time, practical and user -centered applications can be developed with several development cycles. The applications are in the AI cluster of the companys data center, the central IT service provider for the state administration of the state of Baden-Wurttemberg. Strategic AI innovation partnership The cooperation agreement concluded today complements the existing contractual cooperation with the aspect of a strategic AI innovation partnership. The core of the partnership is a structured AI innovation process. This includes regular exchange about current AI trends and technological innovations. In addition, innovative applications for AI are defined, developed and tested in order to further strengthen the position of the partners as an impulse generator in the ACI area in the judiciary. In this way, new technological developments and experiences of the IBM are to be brought into the further development of AI in the judiciary and the joint project work. Minister of the judiciary and for migration said: As a Baden -Wurttemberg judiciary, we want to extensively open up the potential of AI. With the use of AI, we can make and accelerate the recording and structuring of large amounts of data more efficiently. Legal finding and personal communication with the legal seekers and the procedural participants. Realization of different AI applications in the implementation of various AI use cases is placed on existing pilot projects. In addition, new AI applications are being developed and gradually set productive. The basis is the comprehension of users of judicial practice in all career about the processes in the judiciary and the trusting cooperation with the IBMs AI development teams. For example, the processing of mass procedures in the area of the so-called. Parameters from extensive briefs are extracted and sorted in suitable procedural categories in order to facilitate processing. A solution was created with a solution in which published decisions no longer have to be used manually, but personal data is automatically recognized by AI and suitable pseudonyms are proposed for replacement. The project was realized together with the Justice Hessen. Janos piloting has been completed and the upcoming rollout is currently being prepared. In an early project phase, the application is intelligent filtering (intact). The goal is toUs of extensive procedural files to filter out the information needed to do a certain judicial or public prosecutors task. This is particularly relevant for so -called side methods, such as settlement of process costs. The information should not only be marked by intact, but also prepared in terms of content and further processed in a further stage of expansion. Further incorrect cases are being developed and implemented in the near future. David Faller, Managing Director of the German IBM Research and Development Center in Boblingen, said: Especially in the judiciary with its text and document-based processes, AI offers enormous acceleration potential. We are pleased to further support and expand the existing, trusting cooperation with our long-term, international expertise so that AI in the Justice Administration in Baden-Wurttemberg becomes.

The process parties are largely electronically submitting their briefs. This means that the data is available in digital form in all legal proceedings. In the field of artificial intelligence, the judiciary tested the possibilities of AI early in the pilot projects. Baden-Wurttemberg has chair of the committee AG KI in the federal-state cooperation. The Ministry of Justice was responsible for the development of a joint published in April 2025, and for the conception and construction of a AI platform.
