Artificial intelligence in the Family Justice System
The Nuffield Family Justice Observatory has published a briefing paper which is intended to prompt discussion and reflection about how artificial intelligence has the potential to improve experiences for families and professionals accessing the family justice system.
The paper focuses on three potential areas for using AI:
- improving families’ experiences;
- enabling administrative efficiencies; and
- supporting decision making.
It also raises some challenges and risks – such as the extent of human involvement, fairness, accountability, privacy, transparency and accuracy.
This is a hugely interesting area. We have long been of the view that technology can be a brilliant tool in making legal services more accessible and cheaper, and we are very proud of the AI enabled Form E tool we have created which saves our couples time and money. But there AI needs to be treated with caution. It has been shown that it can be discriminatory and provide false positives, and this paper is the start of a long journey and conversation about how AI can work for us, and maintain fair and just outcomes.
