U.S Air Force targeting algorithm self-reported 90% accuracy. Actual accuracy when scientifically tested? 25%. Now imagine you're accused of a crime by an algorithm that self-reports 98% accuracy. Would you know how to test it? Would your lawyer?

All packed and ready for my @UltraNrth Ultramarathon tomorrow, taking place in (thankfully not sunny) #Newcastle! Loved it last year, and trying to beat my PB this year. Now just to sleep fitfully and anxiously before an early start tomorrow!

This is probably me overreacting, but it deeply bothers me when people and media outlets keep using the term "female police officer" when sex/gender isn't a vital part of the story. Police officers are police officers. Same training. Same standards. I never see it done for males.

@Aella_Girl (2/2) ...that babies can't die from CIO but they can from a frustrated parent who loses control. You can 100% CIO for an hour or two to get a bit of sleep, or housework, or to eat food. I raised one baby alone and sometimes temp. CIO wasn't the best solution, but the only one.

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

@Aella_Girl I've raised a couple of babies and honestly, different cries mean different things. There aren't universal rules. Also all babies are different. Context is vital here. Most of the time you can sort something to sooth, BUT one vital thing I always advise new parents is... (1/2)

[The Law Society @TheLawSociety]

“No lawyer should be criticised, or made the subject of a targeted campaign, for doing their job."

Our full joint statement with @thebarcouncil, sharing our support for immigration lawyer Jacqueline McKenzie:

"Everyone is entitled to legal representation, and it is a United Nations basic principle that lawyers should not be identified with the causes of their clients as a result of representing them.

“The legal community is gravely concerned by the experience of immigration solicitor Jacqueline McKenzie.

“That is why – as we have said repeatedly – it is wrong to describe lawyers as ‘lefty’ or ‘activist’ simply on the basis of the causes they advocate on behalf of their clients.

“Lawyers who represent their clients are not only doing nothing wrong, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do in playing their part in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld. Ms McKenzie has been doing exactly what she is supposed to do as an immigration solicitor, acting in the best interests of her clients within the constraints of the law.

“Political leaders know that lawyers represent their clients within the legal framework that parliament creates and CCHQ should seriously reflect on what has happened in this case.

"Language and actions that unfairly undermine confidence in the independence of the legal professions, and potentially risk the safety of lawyers, will ultimately undermine confidence in our entire justice system and the rule of law.”

The phrase "AI-powered" doing a lot of heavy lifting here...

This is an underdiscussed area of law - especially when it comes to AI. People with limited means to defend themselves will often please guilty despite being innocent. Opens up new ML risks esp in AI within criminal law.

[@TheNotSoSecretDefendant @thesecretdefen1]

Interesting article on false guilty pleas & motivations behind them.

Fascinating that 35/39 post-masters went guilty. Only 4 refused.

Shows the majority will fold under pressure, only a minority like me will remain true to ourselves.

Just got asked if I want to tip the company shipping my T-shirt to me (on top of the shipping fee I've paid). I often forget when dealing with US-based orgs how bizarre tipping culture is over there. Is this normal over there or is this extra even by American standards? 😅😅

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

Imprison them where...??? Also, #facialrecognition isn't where it needs to be yet to deal with this - especially 1:N in public spaces for various reasons. The only offenders it would be effective against are already stopped by other methods.

[CrimeLine @CrimeLineLaw]

The press reports: Prolific shoplifters will face mandatory jail sentences for repeat offences as part of a new crime and justice bill. The bill will require judges to impose custody on those caught repeatedly shoplifting, burglarising, stealing, or committing common assault. The number of offences required for a jail sentence will vary depending on the type of crime. In the 12 months to March the police recorded 339,206 cases of shoplifting. Only 48,218 incidents of shoplifting recorded by the police resulted in charges, 14%. The government also wants police forces and retailers to make greater use of facial recognition technology to identify known shoplifters.

In the real world: we do not have enough prison capacity for the extra places required.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

@techreview AI is nowhere near ready for legal advice, but I can see some limited legal support applications - particularly for unrepresented individuals. Utilised as an interactive search engine, it could help people understand and navigate procedure rules + their case. But lawyer? No.

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

There are some benefits to AI in legal field, but only when used within specific and limited scope. It is certainly not ready to be a lawyer, but I can see limited legal support for non-represented individuals being valuable - esp in civil law. This can be done other ways though.

@itsalawyerslife After any case involving children, I find doing something with my own kids helps a lot. Those are the only ones that really get to me usually.

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

@JWhohe For the sentencing of very minor and very numerically heavy offences such as basic driving offences I could see it as an alternative to human sentencing on an opt-in basis (for those who want it over with asap), but again the amount of testing/audit needed would be significant.

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

@JWhohe This is an interesting take. I am very hesitant to consider the use of AI in anything but a judicial support role - and even then with great caution. I can see an LLM being useful for information retrieval perhaps? But that's nothing a search function couldn't do.

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

With contextual caveats, of course, such as anonymising some witnesses and victims who wish this to be so. It would be more work for the HMCTS, but valuable work given that supervision and observation by public is fairly rare (anecdotally - citation needed!).

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

I am all for this. Live broadcasting of open courts is just the 21st Century equivalent of attending in person - more difficult now due to longer working hours, expensive childcare, and fewer physical courts. The public should be able to supervise Justice being done.

[Catherine Baksi @legalhackette]

After a year of broadcasting crown court sentences, broadcasters call for wider filming to the High Court, inquests & magistrates’ sentencing. They also want to be able film all crown court sentencing & defendants entering the dock - in @TimesLaw https://t.co/7PgKITQDL0

[Luke Chambers @Flamdwyn_AI]

Though the headline *is* somewhat misleading regarding the how and why of the deductions, this is still a fairly controversial rule in place which does indeed need reviewed - or at least an overrule mechanism in place.
