Objective
The rapid progress of artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine-learning raises complex challenges
regarding benefits and risks for the criminal justice system. AI could
bring benefits if it is used to predict crime and as a criminal
intelligence tool. However, software programmes can malfunction and
cause serious harm without being considered – as it stands today –
“entities” subject to criminal liability.
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 reactionary 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.
This event is aimed at judges, lawyers, prosecutors and police
investigators with a view to highlighting the aspects of AI already in
use today as well as the changes and opportunities on the horizon.
