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.

Speakers with first-hand experience of the harm these systems cause, experts on AI and automated systems in criminal justice, and leading European policymakers will be joining the event.
