The Use of AI in White-Collar Crime
Have you ever wondered why our criminal justice classes focus on street crime rather than what does the actual damage to our society, i.e. white-collar crimes? Are you interested in artificial intelligence (AI) generally and are curious to hear how it intersects with other practice areas in law? Then come to our panel on the use of AI & white-collar crime.
Brian Clifton (formerly at Buzzfeed) and Sam Lavigne (formerly at Columbia and NYU), both data scientists and software developers from NYC, have developed a predictive policing app for white-collar crime occurrences in the USA. They developed a model profile for the typical white-collar criminal, who tends to be (surprise, surprise) a white middle-class man. You can find their map at whitecollar.thenewinquiry.com and more about their ideas here in this short video youtube.com/watch?v=Wj8meXnHSPo.
