Berkeley Law’s Criminal Law and Justice Center presents detailed case studies on the implementation of AI technologies in criminal justice systems across the United States. The studies highlight both benefits such as efficiency and risk management and significant challenges including bias and transparency concerns.

The research underscores the importance of ethical frameworks and legal safeguards to ensure AI tools do not undermine defendants’ rights or public confidence. It evaluates AI’s role in areas like risk assessment, sentencing, and policing.

The center advocates for cautious, well-regulated adoption of AI, promoting accountability and continuous oversight to maintain fairness and justice in increasingly AI-integrated legal processes.
