NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects that advance the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice system.
Research should explore both the benefits and limitations of AI, addressing potential risks and downstream impacts. Emphasis is placed on transparency, accountability, and civil rights protections .
The goal is to improve the fairness, accuracy, and effectiveness of criminal justice processes through AI applications in crime prevention, public safety, and justice system decision-making.
