AI in criminal cases: Courts' role in preserving constitutional rights
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being deployed in criminal investigations and prosecutions, from predictive policing algorithms to facial recognition and digital evidence analysis. As these tools become more prevalent, courts face critical questions about how to evaluate AI-generated evidence while safeguarding constitutional protections.
This TRI/NCSC AI Policy Consortium for Law & Courts webinar brings together law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and technology experts to examine how AI is being used in the criminal justice system and what guardrails are necessary to preserve Fourth Amendment rights, due process, and equal protection. Panelists will discuss practical approaches for courts to authenticate AI evidence, assess its reliability, and ensure that technological capabilities do not erode fundamental rights.
By attending this session, participants will be able to describe:
1. How AI is being used by law enforcement and prosecutors.
2. Practical steps courts can take in considering digital and AI evidence in warrant applications.
3. Implications of tools for individual rights.
