In this project, we explored how communities and legal experts might use big data and AI to deter human rights abuses and increase convictions.
We collaborated with Dr John Stevens and Iulia Ionescu from the Royal College of Art (RCA) and Roland Harwood from Liminal to design and deliver this workshop for RCA Global Innovation Design students. To make the workshop real and up-to-date, we had the support of special advisors: Professor Yvonne MacDermott-Rees (Professor of Law, War Crimes at Swansea University), Jeff Deutch (Syrian Archive) and Dr David Boyle (AI / ML technology at Imperial College.
A few of our tangible outcomes?
CEPI is a platform that allows people to activate an audio recording by saying predetermined trigger words and call emergency helplines. It aims to empower victims to collect admissible audio evidence safely and make more informed decisions with the support of machine learning analysis and collective human intelligence.
J{AI}NE DOE is a tool to enhance law enforcement’s ability to identify and prosecute online sex traffickers. It achieves this by simplifying, automating, and scaling the use of AI victim profiles to interact with online sex traffickers.
Project X is a service that enables protestors to record and publish videos of the police and authorities anonymously, without fear of being targeted.
