One of the most important concerns of lawyers is to help develop mechanisms that can lead to the realization of justice and its rule in society. In this regard, it is necessary to implement changes consistent and compatible with the basic principles of administrative justice. Administrative justice has two dimensions: a priori (administrative actions) and a posteriori (justice created by the supervisory body). Artificial intelligence is an up-to-date and efficient tool that can be used in administrative actions and assist the supervisory body in its duties. However, there are disadvantages to using artificial intelligence in this process, which inevitably requires the creation of principles to benefit from it in realizing administrative justice, according to which artificial intelligence can be used in realizing administrative justice. Therefore, in the present study, all basic concepts and principles in this field were examined to determine the principles governing artificial intelligence's use in realizing administrative justice. Then, the main concepts for taking measures using artificial intelligence were extracted and reported as a mind map. The results showed that using artificial intelligence improves the administrative process in realizing the principle of proportionality, fairness, logicality, and legality of administrative decisions. Given that artificial intelligence provides its advice based on the principle of impartiality, this expands justice in administrative decisions. Therefore, this tool can be effective in the administrative decision-making process, and on the other hand, it will be a reliable advisor for the supervisory body. The results of the present study can be considered an important step in developing and redesigning artificial intelligence in administrative affairs, which, in light of this, will lead to the best administrative performance, the expansion of administrative justice, and accountability.
