Emerging Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Justice

The Justice for All program at Pathfinders works to ensure access to justice is central to emerging technology and artificial intelligence (AI) governance policy, supports a people-centered justice approach to AI use in the justice sector, and advances the public conversation on justice and AI.

AI is reshaping how people experience rights, accountability, and access to justice—yet the justice sector has been largely absent from global AI governance conversations. Without deliberate action, AI governance frameworks will lack meaningful accountability mechanisms and fail to ensure equal access to remedy for all in the face of AI-related harms. At the same time, without greater coordination to inform best practices across the justice sector, justice systems will adopt AI in fragmented, inequitable ways that deepen existing disparities. To respond to this challenge, the Justice for All program leverages multistakeholder networks of public, private, multilateral, civil society, and academic experts to provide research, analysis, and technical advice across two tracks:
  1. Ensuring equal access to justice is central to emerging technology and AI governance frameworks and policies through research, analysis, technical advice, and by including justice actors in AI governance discussions.
  2. Supporting the justice sector to adopt AI in ways that are coordinated, human-centered, and rights-based by providing platforms for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
