Artificial intelligence (AI), data and criminal justice
Law enforcement and criminal justice authorities are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) systems in their work.
These systems can be used to profile people as criminal, ‘predict’ their actions, and assess their risk of certain behaviour, such as committing a crime, in the future. This can have devastating consequences for the people involved, if they are profiled as criminals or considered a ‘risk’ even though they haven’t actually committed a crime.
These criminal ‘prediction’ systems or ‘predictive’ policing are no longer confined to the realms of science fiction. These systems are being used by law enforcement around the world. And predictions, profiles, and risk assessments that are based on data analysis, algorithms and AI, often lead to real criminal justice outcomes. This can include monitoring or surveillance, repeated stop and search, questioning, fines and arrests. These systems can also heavily influence prosecution, sentencing and probation decisions
