Imagine a world where you can easily navigate exponential amounts of data stored in various formats and systems to identify critical connections that could change the course of a case. A world where AI-powered tools help you find the proverbial needle in the haystack. Where data is a resource instead of a task in your day, where tools find meaningful and actionable insights, provide a clearer roadmap for advocacy, and ensure equal treatment for all. This is the power of human-machine collaboration – a force multiplier in the pursuit of justice.
This session will explore realistic/practical opportunities for public defenders to leverage existing tools and resources to amplify impact, reduce disparities, and redefine what's possible. Combining human expertise with machine learning can level the playing field, reveal hidden patterns, and empower advocates as we work to deliver on the promise of Fundamental Fairness under the law. Join us as we redefine what's possible in public defense, one data point at a time. Together, we can create a future where justice is truly blind and Fundamental Fairness is a reality for all, including you!
