The first European Ethical Charter on the use of artificial intelligence in judicial systems will be presented at the Council of Europe office in Brussels from 11am on Wednesday 23 January.
The charter was adopted by the Council of Europe’s European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice, known as CEPEJ, in December 2018.
It sets out 5 key principles to help policymakers, legal professionals and private sector companies make sure that the use of artificial intelligence in judicial systems and related fields complies with international standards on human rights, privacy and data protection.
The charter is accompanied by an in-depth study on the existing use of artificial intelligence in judicial systems, as well as recommendations on how artificial intelligence can best be used in this context and when its use should be considered with extreme caution.
The charter will be presented by the Council of Europe’s Director for Human Rights, Christophe Poirel, the Secretariat of CEPEJ (Stéphane Leyenberger and Clementina Barbaro), and CEPEJ member Merethe Eckhardt (Denmark).
The presentation, which is strictly by invitation only, will be followed by a question and answer session with participants.
Please note that anyone wishing to attend the event must register in advance via coeinbrussels@coe.int
