Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and the Law: a judicial review

artificial intelligence

There are certain conventions to be followed by any UK Supreme Court justice. Indeed, any senior judge in any jurisdiction might find them handy. The more potentially controversial your content, the more you need an anodyne title and a comprehensive knowledge of Greek classical philosophers. So, wishing to make observations a fortnight ago on algorithmic, … Continue reading Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and the Law: a judicial review →

Let me begin with an admission which is also an implied tribute. The issues arising from the use of algorithms in government decision-making had passed me by until a Legal Services Corporation conference last January. There, Professor Virginia Eubanks gave a presentation squeezed among others in a session on her book ‘Automating inequality’. Since then, … Continue reading If you read one thing on algorithmic justice, read this from the University of Montreal →

Much of the use of artificial intelligence in legaltech may be exciting in its implications but is pretty mundane in its actuality. It is hard for the wonders of e-discovery and document review to get the pulses racing of all but the most dedicated techie. But, just occasionally, you come across a genuinely gob-smacking use … Continue reading Machine Learning, access to justice and the T72B3 →

I worked for the Law Society of England and Wales in the dead days as it abdicated – pretty shamefully – its regulatory function. Since then, it has struggled to find a role as a combination of representative and public interest institution.  However, the publication this week of its paper on algorithms in the criminal … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Justice: lighting a beacon →

Artificial Intelligence and Access to Justice: Hitting the Wall

Two days ago, I attended The Artificial Intelligence in Legal Services summit to promote a Law Society report on algorithm use in the criminal justice system. The publication merits its own, later, post. The day, not without its problems, however, raised issues about Artificial Intelligence and Access to Justice. Indulge me for a minute before we … Continue reading Artificial Intelligence and Access to Justice: Hitting the Wall →
