Artificial Intelligence and Justice Systems: Promoting Sustainable Development, Safeguarding Human Rights, Access to Justice and the Rule of Law

Side event of the UN 11th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals

This event is co-organized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, the Justice Action Coalition, Costa Rica.

This side event will discuss implications for access to justice, efficiency and accountability, while identifying common human rights and rule-of-law challenges, including bias and discrimination, transparency, automation bias, infringements on the right to privacy and potential impacts on judicial independence. The discussion will also highlight initial approaches to addressing these challenges in practice and briefly reflect on emerging judicial responses to AI-related disputes, with a view to identifying opportunities for cross-regional learning and dialogue on responsible and inclusive AI use in justice systems, consistent with international human rights standards.
