Shhh...They’re Listening: A Quick Tour of Big Data’s Collision with Jail Surveillance

Panel on big data and jail surveillance from Artifical Justice: AI, Tech, and Criminal Defense, presented by NACDL's Fourth Amendment Center and Georgetown's Center of Privacy and Technology. 

;

(10/7/2024) We live in an age of data mining, artificial intelligence, and automated decision systems; a world governed by data science. As defense attorneys, we encounter big data every day in our cases without realizing it. In this session we explore one of the biggest, creepiest, and most far-reaching universes of data surveillance in our criminal legal system: jail-based community spying. By doing so, we will (1) find new ways to think about the surveillance environment we find ourselves in, and (2) identify new solutions that defense attorneys can implement in their cases to address the difficult-to-reach rights-based problems posed by our big data world.
