Beijing Launches Internet Court, Accepting and Hearing Cases of Online Lending

On September 9, Beijing unveiled its Internet court. The court, located in Fengtai District, mainly accepts cases regarding the Internet and intellectual property rights, including disputes caused by online loans, online shopping contracts, and online copyright cases.

The court utilizes facial recognition and speech recognition technologies, as well as electronic signatures. All related persons can participate in online legal proceedings after facial recognition verifies their identities with a national ID system.

Additionally, the Beijing Internet court also provides artificial intelligence-based risk assessment tools to the public. Its system can also automatically generate legal documents, use machine translation, and allow voice interactions with its knowledge system.

Beijing’s Internet court is the second in the country, after Hangzhou, which was opened in 2017.

China also plans to set up an Internet court in Guangzhou. (Source: China Money Network)
