Mapping the Collaborative Future of AI and Justice

Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a critical inflection point for our justice and legal system. Done right, AI can radically increase public access to justice, improving the speed, accuracy, and fairness of courts, law enforcement, and social services. However, a failure to proactively address risks—including algorithmic bias, widened resource gaps between defense and prosecution, and opaque governance—threatens to undermine public trust and entrench existing inequities.

This talk, presented by the Director of the AI and Justice Consortium, outlines a collaborative path forward. The Consortium brings together leaders from AI, government, criminal justice, and academia with a primary mission: to collaboratively establish principles and credible guidance for AI policy, product development, and ethical implementation.
