From Patterns to Precedents – Leveraging AI for Evidence-Based Systemic Reforms" is a Blue-Sky exploration of how artificial intelligence could drive meaningful change in the justice system. We’ll consider AI’s ability to analyze vast amounts of public defense and justice system data to uncover systemic issues such as racial disparities and sentencing inconsistencies. We’ll discuss possible ways to harness AI tools to build compelling, data-driven arguments for court, creating visualizations that effectively communicate complex patterns to judges and juries. Finally, we’ll discuss how, with enough data, predictive modeling could forecast the impact of proposed reforms, providing a solid foundation for advocacy efforts. Attendees will leave inspired to find and build the use cases that will lead to systemic reforms.
