Initially, it analyzes historical resistance by legal professionals to adopting technologies, from typewriters to artificial intelligence, demonstrating how each technological innovation initially faced resistance but eventually became regulated and normalized. The study emphasizes that resistance to technologies stems mainly from an anti-automation bias, characterized by exaggerated resistance by jurists toward technological innovations. Literature has predominantly focused on criticisms and risks associated with technology, creating a research gap regarding the necessity and mandatory adoption of technological tools by the Judiciary. The central hypothesis argued is that there exists a positive constitutional duty obliging the Judiciary to progressively implement technological solutions, with unjustified judicial refusal constituting a violation of the Federal Constitution, particularly regarding principles of administrative efficiency and reasonable duration of proceedings. The paper also maintains that such refusal constitutes an ethical and professional infringement. Using legal-dogmatic methodology, the article examines constitutional, legal and regulatory foundations. Finally, the paper concludes that given the current stage of regulation and technological advancement, Brazilian judges have an explicit ethicalfunctional duty to adopt institutionally provided technological tools, using them critically and under human supervision to ensure efficient jurisdiction and respect for litigants’ fundamental rights.Keywords: artificial intelligence; anti-automation bias; judicial duty; principle of efficiency; judicial ethics.INTRODUÇÃOA quarta revolução industrial, marcada pela convergência de big data, aprendizado de máquina e poder computacional escalável, vem impondo ao Poder Judiciário desafios que vão além da mera digitalização de fluxos e atos processuais.Nesse aspecto, ganha-se especial relevo a discussão envolvendo a disponibilidade contemporânea de sistemas de inteligência artificial no
