Artificial intelligence, risk assessment, and potential racial implications
Artificial intelligence, risk assessment, and potential racial implications
These and similar headlines are increasingly
drawing attention to the potential racial
implications of risk assessment tools and other
predictive technologies deployed in contemporary
justice systems. The tools are sometimes
described as Artificial Intelligence systems
in line with the current usage of the term ‘AI’
which broadly refers to a machine or computer
programme trained to perform tasks which rely
on human intelligence. One such task is learning
how to use information from the past to try
and predict the future. AI is therefore, ‘about
machines which act intelligently – typically
making predictions or decisions about multiple
aspects of the world in which we live’ (Weller
2021).

Abstract
These and similar headlines are increasingly
drawing attention to the potential racial
implications of risk assessment tools and other
predictive technologies deployed in contemporary
justice systems. The tools are sometimes
described as Artificial Intelligence systems
in line with the current usage of the term ‘AI’
which broadly refers to a machine or computer
programme trained to perform tasks which rely
on human intelligence. One such task is learning
how to use information from the past to try
and predict the future. AI is therefore, ‘about
machines which act intelligently – typically
making predictions or decisions about multiple
aspects of the world in which we live’ (Weller
2021).
