What does a rights based approach to the use of AI look like?
This was the central question explored in our recent event, hosted in partnership with JUSTICE, which brought together a range of practitioners, judiciary, law students, academics, government officials and wider civic society representatives.
The event began with opening remarks from Angela Brady (Chair of the Law Tech Group), which was followed by insightful contributions from Sir Bernard McCloskey, Hugh Widdis (Department of Justice), Htaik Win (NIHRC) and Dr Ciaran O’Kelly (Queen’s University Belfast), who examined the intersection between AI, human rights and the justice system. Each speaker brought different perspectives on the growing influence of this emerging form of technology within our justice system.
Stephanie Needleman, Legal Director at JUSTICE, then chaired a panel session, opening the floor to further discussions about the potential benefits of AI and the need to manage risks to ensure that AI does not undermine fundamental rights within our society.
We would like to thank all those who attended and contributed to these insightful conversations.
