Lack of Standards and Transparency

• AI tools used in criminal investigations without disclosure or transparency.
• Trade secrets laws hinder public scrutiny, creating a 'black box'.
• Lack of standards in AI usage and disclosure.

Concerns and Regulations: Legislation aims to address testing, transparency, and legal standards in AI use in criminal justice.Facial Recognition Biases: Concerns about biases in AI, especially in facial recognition systems, impacting legal outcomes.

Transparency and Testing

• AI lacks testing and transparency, leading to risks of errors and biases.
• Challenges in proving errors in AI-led cases create a Catch-22 in courts.
• Defense counsel faces hurdles in accessing AI source codes for scrutiny.
