Subliminal messages may be considered a violation of privacy, but that concept has not been successfully extended in court to machines. At least not yet.

Artificial justice: would robots make good judges? When we want to solve a complicated math problem quickly and accurately, many of us will turn to a calculator without thinking twice. But would you want a machine determining the outcome of a complex legal case? This is the question Jaerin Jo got hung up on after participating in a debate about AI at her school. Jaerin's own father is a judge in South Korea, and imagining a future where robots preside over courtrooms brought up many brain-twisting questions about the appropriate uses of AI and the nature of justice itself. This thought-provoking Talk imagines what an AI justice system might look like, and asks you to consider how you would participate in it. This Talk was given at TED-Ed Weekend in New York City.

Machine Learning in the Criminal Justice Systems | Jens Ludwig | Talks at Google Jens Ludwig, Director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, talks about applying machine learning to reducing crime in Chicago and other public policy areas. In 2008, Ludwig helped found the Crime Lab to carry out data-driven methods to prevent crime and violence, and reduce the harms associated with the criminal justice system. Crime Lab’s work on gun policy, reducing crime, and education intervention studies have led to new policy initiatives in a number of US cities. The Crime Lab been has received coverage on major news outlets such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. It is also the recent recipient of a $10 million donation from billionaire philanthropist Ken Griffin. Ludwig is the McCormick Foundation Professor of Social Service Administration, Law, and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. He is also a non-resident senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and co-director of the NBER's Working Group on the Economics of Crime. Ludwig is an economist by training and in 2012 was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

Machine Learning applied to judicial decisions - Danilo Mendes & Yan Teixeira (Legal Labs) The need for technology applied to the legal sector has been a very relevant issue in the Brazilian scenario. The volume of processes is huge and the traditional methods of process analysis and execution no longer account for the demand. The process was physical, then turned digital, we inaugurated the next phase: intelligence on the mass litigations. The amount of Brazilian lawsuits shows a crisis scenario that is, at the same time, an important generator of opportunities. In this talk, we show how we developed Dra. Luzia, who was trained to make decisions in mass litigations. To do so, we elucidate how data mining and the application of machine learning, including deep learning, were applied in the development of the Artificial Intelligence platform Dra. Luzia. We believe that the Brazilian Judiciary will begin to use IA soon. This will directly impact the speed of procedural steps. Danilo Mendes: Researcher, Developer and Project Manager at Legal Labs with a degree in Software Engineering from the University of Brasília. He has worked on embedded projects to help disabled people and in web and mobile applications for companies and institutions. He was a researcher at California State University, Fullerton, with the goal of re-creating multidimensional sound for hearing aids. Participated in the conception, creation and development of Dr. Luzia.

Having a usable definition of AI – and soon – is vital for regulation and governance because laws and policies simply will not operate without one. This definition problem crops up in all regulatory contexts, from ensuring truthful use of the term “AI” in product advertising right through to establishing how next-generation automated weapons systems (AWSs) are treated under the laws of war. ________________________________________ Modernizing Export Controls: Protecting Cutting-Edge Technology and U.S. National Security, March 14, 2018 | Committee on Foreign Affairs - US House of Representatives EXPORT CONTROLS Agencies Should Assess Vulnerabilities and Improve Guidance for Protecting Export- Controlled Information at Universities, 2006 | U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) is the cornerstone of U.S. munitions export control law; implementation through International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) June 1996 / United States Munitions List (USML) | U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) The Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, authorizes the Department of Commerce, in consultation with other appropriate agencies, to regulate the export or re-export of U.S.-origin dual-use goods, software, and technology.

Artificial Intelligence Today—Tomorrow's Legal Challenges of Machine Learning United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit 2017 Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference Artificial Intelligence Today—Tomorrow's Legal Challenges of Machine Learning Once an area limited primarily to academic study, Artificial Intelligence ("AI") now enables a constellation of technologies that we take for granted such as Internet search algorithms; computer and phone speech assistants; self-driving cars; health care diagnostics; investment platforms; industrial robots; and home heating; cooling and security. This is just the beginning. AI technology is growing rapidly. As it grows, it will not merely be an aid to human activity, but a powerful force that reshapes our world, our thinking, our lives, and our constitutional principles. In this panel presentation we discuss what AI is, its status today, what the future might hold, and some of the critical issues courts may face in addressing the impact of AI.

Intellectual Property (IP) Ownership ...recent artificial intelligence case, in which the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia held that an AI system cannot be named as an inventor on a patent. Unlike US patent law, US copyright law does not have an express requirement of human authorship; however, US courts and the US Copyright Office generally operate on the basis of this requirement and deny registrations of works not created by humans. In fact, the Compendium of US Copyright Office Practices—a manual produced by the US Copyright Office, intended for use primarily by the Copyright Office staff as a general guide to policies and procedures such as registration, deposit and recordation—states, “the term ‘authorship’ implies that, for a work to be copyrightable, it must owe its origin to a human being”. Materials produced solely by nature, by plants, or by animals are not copyrightable. The metaverse could have virtual creations by avatars and AI aspects built into them. If such creations are deemed to be AI creations and not human creations, they may not be allowed certain types of intellectual property protection. A Brief Overview of the Metaverse and the Legal Challenges It Will Present | Rahul Kapoor & Shokoh Yaghoubi - JDSUPRA Amnesty International Amnesty International is fighting the use of AI to abuse human rights in a number of ways, including: Research and advocacy: Amnesty International conducts research on the impact of AI on human rights, and uses this research to advocate for policies and practices that protect human rights. For example, Amnesty International has called for a ban on the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement, and for the development of ethical AI principles that are based on human rights. Collaboration with other organizations: Amnesty International collaborates with other organizations, such as the European Parliament and the United Nations, to raise awareness of the human rights risks of AI and to advocate for solutions. Legal action: Amnesty International has taken legal action against companies and governments that use AI in ways that violate human rights. For example, Amnesty International has filed a lawsuit against Clearview AI, a company that collects and sells facial recognition data without people's consent. Public education: Amnesty International educates the public about the human rights risks of AI, and encourages people to take action to protect their rights. For example, Amnesty International has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the use of AI in mass surveillance. Amnesty International's work to fight the use of AI to abuse human rights is important because AI has the potential to be a powerful tool for good or for harm. By working to ensure that AI is used in a way that respects human rights, Amnesty International is helping to create a more just and equitable world. Here are some specific examples of Amnesty International's work on this issue: In 2019, Amnesty International published a report called "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Human Rights". The report found that AI is being used in ways that violate a wide range of human rights, including the right to privacy, the right to freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial. In 2020, Amnesty International launched a campaign called "Ban the Scan". The campaign calls for a ban on the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement. In 2021, Amnesty International filed a lawsuit against Clearview AI, a company that collects and sells facial recognition data without people's consent. The lawsuit alleges that Clearview AI's practices violate the privacy rights of millions of people.
