Artificial Intelligence's Expanding Role in Criminal Justice A legal journey from prediction to sentencing

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 datadriven 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 crimefighting 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.
