Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ’smart’ Criminal Justice Systems

Application of AI in Legal Practice

Objective

Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting the criminal justice systems by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and fairness in decision-making processes. ’Smart’ criminal justice systems leverage AI to improve predictive policing and assist legal practitioners by providing data-driven insights. 
These advancements have the potential to reduce human error, combat bias, and allocate resources more effectively. However, it is crucial to ensure that AI is implemented ethically, safeguarding against biases and protecting individual rights to maintain public trust in these transformative technologies. 
After explaining the technical aspects of AI and its implications for privacy-preserving big data technologies, this conference will focus on how AI could be used in criminal proceedings, enabling the shift from a traditionally reactive approach to crime-fighting to one that is more proactive and preventative in character. It will discuss possible solutions for remedying the risks posed by AI and robotics in the criminal justice domain.
