Emerging technologies: How can we best identify and evaluate the emerging technology that will improve efficiency and safety of service delivery across the justice system? What are the practical, ethical, security, and data protection considerations for implementation of new technologies, including AI and machine learning?
Background
Given the complex and interconnected nature of the justice system, there are several system-wide themes and issues that cut across jurisdictions and policy areas. We welcome innovative research that takes a holistic approach to improving understanding of what works to improve outcomes across the system.
