The IJIS Institute launches the Center of Excellence on Artificial Intelligence for Justice, Public Safety, and Security (JPSS)
Summary
Currently, there is no place for the justice and public safety agencies and the private sector who serve this mission to seek guidance and validate the efficacy of AI-based solutions and associated capabilities. To help JPSS agencies better prepare to implement AI-based capabilities, and the private sector develop fully vetted solutions, the Center of Excellence will provide expertise on the responsible and ethical use of AI in justice, public safety, and security. To ensure realization of operational mission goals within this COI requires a responsible, ethical and methodical approach to assessment, refinement and ultimate implementation of potential solutions within these agencies. We are proud to spearhead the constitution of this AI Center of Excellence to best support the Justice, Public Safety, and Security community goals, and look forward to collaborating with our partners." By uniting expertise from academia, government, and industry, we are creating a resource that not only advances the responsible integration of AI but also ensures it aligns with the ethical and operational needs of diverse communities.
