Rights in Law and Practice: Artificial Intelligence, with Ellen Lefley

In episode six of the Law for Lawmakers podcast, JUSTICE Senior Lawyer Ellen Lefley explores the relationship between artificial intelligence and the Rule of Law, and what it means for Parliament as AI becomes increasingly embedded in public services and the justice system.

Drawing on JUSTICE’s research on AI in justice and policing, Lefley discusses the opportunities and risks presented by emerging technologies, arguing that innovation must be guided by established Rule of Law and human rights principles.

She also examines the growing use of AI in policing and public decision-making, highlighting the need for stronger oversight and effective parliamentary scrutiny to ensure new technologies strengthen - rather than undermine - the Rule of Law.
