The government is asking Tech companies to join the crime campaign

The government has asked technology companies to help solve challenges in the judicial system. In a meeting on May 8, the Minister of Justice met with 30 technology companies, including Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Service (AWS) to examine how new technologies can keep the country's streets safer.

This closes the potential to pursue the movement of the perpetrators more efficiently. Use data that can be used to carry out more precise risk reviews. The meeting also examined whether digital platforms can help criminals to rehabilitate society better and to integrate into society, which reduces revival.

Minister of Justice and Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood said the current government had “inherited a judicial system in the crisis with prisons.

“Today we have an analog judicial system in a digital age. Great Britain has a worldwide leading and growing technology sector, and I know that our technology companies play a major role to create our plan for changes to make roads more secure.”

The meeting was relieved by trade body Techuk, the meeting aimed to lay the foundations for an event that is open to the entire industry to advertise and present their ideas and solutions in the coming months.

In the meeting, the President of Law Society of England and Wales Richard Atkinson said that if the technology can play a role in combating the current prison crisis, it should be warned that it must be “without compromise with quality or public security as part of a broader program of capacity and efficiency”.

“The transparency about the technology used will be crucial to ensure the trust of the public. Technology itself is not a silver ball for the treatment of problems in our system, but it can make justice easier and enable if it is used responsibly and ethically,” he said.

At the beginning of this year, the Minister of Justice issued her plan to change the probation helper, which included 8 million GBP in the direction of new technologies such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI). In her speech at the time, she said that tools such as Voice Transcription would enable probation officers to concentrate on building relationships and at the same time remove the need to then enter handwritten notes in a computer. “

“Over time, we believe that AI could play a more active role in the support of employees in monitoring criminals – for example, the data we have about a perpetrator to suggest a surveillance plan tailored to it,” she said.

Amanda Sleigh, General Manager of Microsoft, said that the company was enthusiastic about being part of the government introduced by the government.

“Microsoft undertakes to promote the ethical use of AI technology in order to reduce the administrative burden on prison and probation officers, so that they can concentrate more on the provision of high-quality frontline services, reduce relapses and contribute to integrating perpetrators back into society,” she said.
