We’re excited to be hosting an event during the Law Society of Ontario (LSO)’s Access to Justice (A2J) Week 2025. Join us online on Monday, October 27th, for an engaging session on AI in the Canadian criminal justice system.
We’ll be exploring important practical and legal questions that are confronting Canadian police, courts, policymakers, Crowns, defence counsel, and criminal accused, including:
- What AI systems could be used in the Canadian criminal justice system?
- What are the benefits and risks of this AI?
- Who will be affected by AI in the criminal justice system?
- What are legal and access to justice issues?
- Are there gaps in Canadian law and legislation?
- What can we learn from the experience of other jurisdictions?
- How have Canadian police, policymakers, courts, and others responded to the emerging challenges?
