The Law Commission of Ontario (LCO) is pleased to release Accountable AI, a major new report considering artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) in the Canadian justice system.  
 

Accountable AI comprehensively analyzes AI and ADM systems used to assist government decision-making including:

  • Why and how governments are using AI
  • How AI changes government decision-making
  • The elements of AI regulation
  • How to fulfill the promise of      "Trustworthy AI" 
  • How to adapt human rights and      administrative law to government AI decision-making
  • Ensuring public engagement
  • Improving access to justice


The report includes 19 recommendations addressing bias in AI systems, “black-box” decision-making, due process, and the need for public engagement. 


The full report is available here. They also have an Executive Summary.  

        

Accountable AI is the LCO’s third major report on AI and ADM in the Canadian justice system. The first report addressed  AI and ADM tools in criminal justice. The second proposed a comprehensive framework for regulating government AI systems. More on the LCO’s AI, ADM and the Justice System project is available here.

  • Facilitating access to justice
  • Protecting the public
  • Informing future regulatory development
  • enabling licensees to better understand how the public is using ITLS and the impact on legal service delivery


TASK FORCE REPORT


With this information, licensees could enhance their practices by using, adapting to, or developing ITLS tools.
