Lincoln Memorial University's Duncan School of Law will hold its annual law review symposium on Feb. 4. This year’s event, “Artificial Intelligence in the Law,” will explore the effect of algorithms on judicial decision-making. The school notes that algorithms are being used in various jurisdictions to determine whether to detain defendants pretrial, in sentencing and parole decisions, and to assess the statistical probability of future criminal behavior. The symposium seeks to assess whether such algorithms are effective, unbiased and helpful, and whether judicial decision-makers should embrace the technology.
