AI and Criminal Justice: Trust, Conflict and Power
IX AIDP Symposium for Young Penalists
Artificial intelligence (AI) is progressively transforming decision-making processes and affecting our everyday lives. The use of algorithms, AI agents and big data techniques also creates unprecedented opportunities for the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences and the efficiency of the criminal justice system. Equally, however, the rapid increase of AI and big data in criminal justice raises a plethora of criminological, ethical, legal and technological questions and concerns, e.g. about enhanced surveillance and control in a pre-crime society and the risk of bias or even manipulation in (automated) decision-making. In view of the stakes involved, the need for regulation of AI and its alignment with human rights, democracy and the rule of law standards has been amply recognised, both globally and regionally (e.g. UNICRI-Interpol: Towards responsible AI Innovation, 2020; Council of Europe: Recommendation on the human rights impacts of algorithmic systems, 2020; European Commission: White Paper on Artificial Intelligence, 2020). The lawfulness, social acceptance and overall legitimacy of AI, big data and automated decision-making in criminal justice will depend on a range of factors, including (algorithmic) transparency, trustworthiness, non- discrimination, accountability, responsibility, effective oversight, data protection, due process, fair trial, access to justice, effective redress and remedy. There is, therefore, a clear need to address these issues and raise awareness on AI systems’ capabilities and limitations within criminal justice in order to be better prepared for the future that is now upon us.
AIDP Symposia for Young Penalists have become a focal point for exchange on current issues of criminal justice. Young academics and practitioners share their ideas on an international forum, receive feedback and are inspired by renowned keynote speakers and moderators, and work together to learn more – and improve – criminal justice.

The Ninth International AIDP Symposium for Young Penalists is hosted by the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften of the Goethe-University Frankfurt and co-organized by the Research Centre “Normative Orders”, the Research Initiative „ConTrust: Vertrauen im Konflikt – Politisches Zusammenleben unter Bedingungen der Ungewissheit“ and by the Young Penalists Committee of the International Association of Penal Law (AIDP).

ConTrust Speaker Series
A standard assumption of research is that trust and conflict stand in opposition and exclude one another. ConTrust questions that assumption and inquires into the dynamics of trust and conflict in various contexts of social life. Can trust arise in, manifest itself and be stabilized in conflicts rather than apart from them? What are the conditions for that?

Misstrauen in Zeiten der Ungewissheit
Panel
Donnerstag, 9. Dezember 2021, 17 Uhr
Die Frage danach, was Gemeinschaften oder gar ganze Gesellschaften „zusammenhält“, wird oft mit dem Begriff des Vertrauens beantwortet. Dem Gegenbegriff zu Vertrauen, dem des Misstrauens, wird hingegen auch die gegenteilige Wirkung zugesprochen: Misstrauen, so die landläufige – und auf den ersten Blick hochplausible – Vorstellung, treibt auseinander.
Neue autoritäre Bewegungen und Gruppierungen, die sich gegen Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen wenden, machen jedoch deutlich, dass diese einfache Dichotomie zu kurz greift. Unter Bedingungen gesellschaftlicher Ungewissheit ist Misstrauen – genau wie Vertrauen – ein Mittel zur Reduktion sozialer Komplexität, das nicht nur zur Erklärung der Welt, sondern auch zur Vergemeinschaftung beiträgt. Was beispielsweise die äußerst heterogene sogenannte Querdenkerbewegung eint und mobilisiert, scheint gerade das geteilte Misstrauen gegen politische Institutionen, etablierte Medien und Wissenschaft zu sein.
Beobachten wir gegenwärtig eine neue gesellschaftliche Spaltung zwischen jenen, die dem öffentlichen Diskurs als Austragungsort gesellschaftlicher Konflikte eher vertrauen, und jenen, die – insbesondere seit Pandemiebeginn – gegen ihn ein tiefes Misstrauen hegen? Wie verhält sich dieses Misstrauen zu neuen partikularisierten Vertrauensgemeinschaften? Wie lassen sich für die demokratische Lebensform essenzielle Formen des Zweifels von eher destruktiven Formen des Misstrauens unterscheiden? Diese und weitere Fragen möchten wir auf dem Panel aus philosophischer, ideengeschichtlicher und sozialpsychologischer Perspektive beleuchten.
Es diskutieren: PD Dr. Christian Budnik (Zürich), PD Dr. Eva Marlene Hausteiner (Greifswald/Bonn), Prof. Dr. Vera King (Frankfurt).
Kommentar: Prof. Dr. Ayelet Shachar, Dr. Greta Wagner (Luzern/Darmstadt) und Moderation: Dr. Tobias Albrecht (Frankfurt)

Documentary and Democracy in Crisis
International Conference Visible Evidence 2021
14 - 18 December 2021
What we call ‘documentary’ emerged in the 1920s and 1930s in response to a perceived crisis of liberal democracy, as a mode of factual representation which empowers citizens to participate in the political process. As the last months have shown, the willingness or unwillingness of citizens to comply with policy makers have crucial effects.
How does documentary respond to what has been widely diagnosed as the current crisis of democracy? What could be an adequate reaction in forms, themes and modes of production, to the return to nationalism and other forms of political tribalism in the face of global migration? In what ways does documentary shape our perceptions of the consequences of globalization, from climate change, health crisis, to the transformation of the economy? And how can documentary in theory and practice contribute to defend the spaces and modes of deliberation necessary for the life of democracy?
Visible Evidence, the international conference on documentary film and media, now in its 27th installment, will be hosted by the Institute for Theatre, Film and Media Studies (TFM) at Goethe University, Frankfurt in collaboration with Künstlerhaus Mousonturm and DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum. Designed as a public event in collaboration with the city’s leading cultural institutions, the conference makes a conscious nod towards documentary history as an instrument of public opinion. The notion of crisis, a thread weaved through the history of documentary, and in light of current affairs seems ever more pertinent, calls for new political, formal and social possibilities that consolidate and expand documentary’s role as a space for representation and democratic deliberation. These new possibilities are explored in a dialogue between theory and practice.
