4th Webinar on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the justice field, 27 April 2022 – Forensic AI in e-Evidence
The fourth webinar is dedicated to the important topic of the forensic use of AI in electronic evidence. The screening of evidence has challenged investigating authorities even before the digital age, and has become even more demanding in today’s times of vast digital data oceans. Facilitating a rapid and comprehensive data analysis is becoming increasingly essential, as it is ever more common for law enforcement authorities to seize large amounts of electronic evidence. Due to the digital nature of the data and the availability of efficient technologies, an automated processing seems to be one obvious solution to this challenge. On the one hand, using AI to manage the analysis of large volumes of structured and unstructured data can allow for substantial time and manpower savings. Yet can the correct training of systems guarantee a high reliability of the outcome? Within the context of the webinar, qualified speakers, representing different perspectives have had the possibility to discuss the practical use of AI in e-evidence and its risks and opportunities, before examining the very current topic of Deep fakes.

5th Webinar on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the justice field, 13 December 2022 – AI-powered chatbots and tools facilitating access to information
The fifth webinar is dedicated to the topic of AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, conversational agents and other tools facilitating access to information. AI-powered chatbots respond intelligently to user inquiries by leveraging technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP), as well as advanced analytics. An AI-powered chatbot simulates human conversation based on the input of text, audio or both. It is an intelligent and simplified method for users to find the information they seek. The AI webinar will aim to discuss the opportunities, which such tools offer to users, but also the potential risks and challenges.
