Artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) systems are increasingly used by European law enforcement and criminal justice authorities to predict and profile people’s actions and assess their ‘risk’ of criminality or re-offending in the future.
These AI and ADM systems can reproduce and reinforce discrimination and exacerbate inequality on grounds including but not limited to race, socio-economic status and nationality, as well as engage and infringe fundamental rights, including the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.
In this webinar we discuss Fair Trials’ new report, Automating Injustice, on the use of these systems and their harmful impact. With input from speakers with first-hand experience of the harm these systems cause, experts on AI and automated systems in criminal justice, and leading European policymakers.
