• This course explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the criminal justice system, focusing on both its transformative potential and the ethical, legal, and social implications it presents. Students will examine how AI technologies, such as predictive policing, risk assessment tools, facial recognition, and automated legal analysis, are being applied in law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Through case studies, critical discussions, and hands-on projects, the course will address issues like bias in AI algorithms, accountability, privacy concerns, and the impact of automation on justice outcomes. Students will also analyze the balance between innovation and civil liberties, and engage with current debates surrounding AI regulation, transparency, and the future of technology in law enforcement and legal practices. By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of how AI is shaping the criminal justice system and be prepared to engage in informed discussions about the role of emerging technologies in society.
