The use of AI in justice and legal practice: why training matters
- Sara Hjeltnes, Moderator
- Simone Cuomo, Secretary General, Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe CCBE
AI is about to infiltrate many aspects of people's daily lives, including justice and legal services. The question arises how we can ensure that the use of AI tools reinforces justice and does not erode the quality of justice? This session will particularly address the possible uses of AI in court systems and the impact this could have on the principles and procedural architecture underpinning judicial proceedings. Another aspect which will be addressed is the opportunities AI technologies could offer to lawyers and the importance of training in this regard.
The use of AI in prisons and probation contexts
- Pedro Das Neves, Executive director of IPS Innovative Prison Systems and editor of JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine
- Hakan Klarin, CIO of the Swedish Prison Service, expert to the PC-CP of the Council of Europe, Recommendations on the use of use of AI in Criminal Justice
- Emilia Gomez, European Commission Join Research Centre
Ms Gomez will introduce to the work of the HUMAINT project at the Joint Research Centre, which studies the impact of artificial intelligence on human behaviour and develops methodologies for trustworthy AI. In particular, she will present an interdisciplinary research project on decision making in the context of Risk Assessment of Criminal Recidivism. She will comment on the opportunities and risks brought by the use of AI in this context, and the related challenges in terms of effectiveness, fairness and human oversight.
Italian and Portuguese experience on training court staff accompanying digitalisation reforms
- Sara Hjeltnes, Moderator
- José Júlio Fernandes, Senior trainer, Direção-Geral da Administração da Justiça, Portugal
Portugal's experience in the digitalisation of justice is now more than two decades old, as a result of the timely identification of the advantage of building a digital society to reinvent the functioning and organisation of justice, to facilitate its operation, the processing of and access to cases, not only for legal professionals, authorities and official bodies, but also, fundamentally, for citizens. However and even though the level of success achieved in the implementation of electronic proceedings is very relevant, there are still some issues that hinder its full implementation. Role of training in this process will be discussed.
