CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS AND THE USE OF AI

Challenges for Common Criminal Procedure Principles

The conference is dedicated to presenting the findings of the CRIM_AI project. It will bring together the project participants and distinguished experts from academia, institutions, and professional practice to analyse and discuss the European and international initiatives related to AI, as well as how different national jurisdictions are responding to the use of AI evidence in criminal proceedings.

Methodology
