DESCRIPTION
This session explores the integration of AI into criminal justice systems, focusing on China’s pioneering yet cautious approach to balancing technological innovation with judicial integrity. Aligned with the conference’s third theme, it emphasizes cross-sector collaboration between technologists, legal practitioners, policymakers, and international scholars to address risks and build a trustworthy AI framework. The session will: 1. Highlight China’s unique experience in deploying AI tools (e.g., case recommendation systems, risk assessment models) under its Supreme People’s Court guidelines, providing actionable insights for global governance. 2. Analyze technical, ethical, and legal challenges through case studies, including algorithmic bias, transparency gaps, and accountability mechanisms. 3. Foster dialogue on harmonizing technical feasibility with judicial values (fair trial, due process) through comparative perspectives (EU, UK, and China).
Structured as a symposium with 4 presentations, the session combines technical demonstrations, judicial insights, and policy critiques to propose interdisciplinary solutions. A moderated Q&A will engage participants in refining actionable frameworks for responsible AI adoption.
This session will be chaired by Professor Li Zhe, also the Head for the department of Macao Law Studies, Faculty of Law, University of Macao. Prof. Li has long term research experience with criminal justice, and several years of AI and Law. Contact: zheli@um.edu.mo.
