Beginner’s Guide to AI, Justice, and Human Rights

Professor Darling from the Claremont Graduate School spoke about harnessing AI for transformational justice at the commencement today. These sources discuss the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis within the justice system and related fields, including human rights and transitional justice. They highlight the potential benefits of AI, such as improving efficiency, analyzing large datasets, and supporting practices like restorative justice and transitional justice mechanisms, while also acknowledging significant concerns. Key issues raised include the risk of perpetuating and amplifying existing biases, particularly against marginalized groups, the importance of data accuracy, privacy, and security, and the need for human oversight and a victim-centered approach when implementing AI technologies. The texts emphasize that careful consideration, ethical frameworks, and potentially new regulatory structures are crucial for harnessing AI for good and mitigating its potential harms in these sensitive domains.Sources:AI sentencing cut jail time for low-risk offenders, but study finds racial bias persisted - NewsArtificial Intelligence (AI) & Restorative Justice | RJ Webinar series by Prof. Gavrielides E23Artificial Intelligence and Transitional Justice: Framing the Connections - Impunity WatchHow Artificial Intelligence Can Deepen Racial and Economic Inequities | ACLUHow to Harness AI for Justice - Judicature - Duke UniversityPublish_26 STLR 316 (2023)_The Use of Artificial Intelligence in International Human Rights LawTop 50 NGOs Leveraging AI to Drive Social Impact and Address Global ChallengesToward a Theory of Justice for Artificial Intelligence | Daedalus - MIT Press DirectUnlocking justice: the crucial role of data in the criminal justice system
