@Gladwell I'm listening to your book Talking to Strangers right now. It was amazing to hear you talk about the Kleinberg study. This study is what inspired me to bring this technology to Ontario! Check us out: https://t.co/8DBxFhuEr6

I had an unbelievable experience @firesideconf this past weekend. It was an honour to speak on the Access to Justice panel w/ @snafisahmed from @RyersonLIZ and Sophie Tremblay from @NOVAlex_MTL. Thx @minuteboxinc for the invite! I highly recommend attending next year! #legaltech

Perhaps its not a 'lenient' system, but rather an overburdened and inefficient one that often results in inaccurate assessments? #onpoli @ClaOntario @marksaunderstps #bailreform

"Our broken bail system disproportionately impacts people of colour and brings our criminal justice system into disrepute. We must adopt data-driven policies to help fix it." Founder @Fahad_Diwan on the need for #bailreform @OntarioNDP #BlackCaucus's deputation session. #onpoli

“We just want to find a way to make the system better, faster, economical.” @Fahad_Diwan from @RyersonLIZ is developing @Smart_Bail, an algorithm that will be able to assess whether to keep people in jail. @TorontoStar https://t.co/4A5FlwsK9E

Fruitful consultation this morning on @Ontario's data strategy with the Ontario Digital Service. Opening up criminal justice data (and bail system data in particular) will make the system better for all Ontarians.

Thanks for organizing & hosting @BrookfieldIIE.

Interesting fact: Sweden has no bail system! We looked into this after watching @GurdeepA on the @CP24Breakfast show this morning talking about @asvpxrocky's pre-trial detention. Check out this @VICE article for more information!

.@C_Mulroney, it is time that Ontario adopts a cost reducing, transparent and objective pre-trial risk assessment tool powered by machine learning like @smart_bail! Our research shows we can save Ontario up to $17.8M a year while reducing reliance on lawyers to do bail hearings!

[Ari Goldkind @AriGoldkind]

About 15 minutes ago, as a result of @fordnation cuts, all defence lawyers in Ontario were told that Legal Aid will not pay lawyers to do bail hearings for most accused. This is significant, as bail often determines EVERYTHING in a person's case.

.@LegalAidOntario, maybe it's time to adopt a better, cheaper solution to making bail determinations, like an objective and transparent pre-trial risk assessment tool powered by machine learning? #bailreform #fordcuts @fordnation

Thanks @IVADO_Qc @MILAMontreal for organizing a 4-day conference on #bias & #discrimination in #AI! I learned a lot from the incredibly knowledgeable guest speakers present. Highlights include @CorriveauNoel discussing his team's development of the Algorithmic Impact Assessment.

Proud to be at @RyersonLIZ for #lizturns4 tonight! Thank you for leading the charge on legal tech innovation in Canada and across the world. We're grateful to be a part of an incubator that continues to turn out so many inspiring #LegalTech companies!

In the wake of the St. Cloud/Antic/Myers trilogy signaling the fundamental importance of bail, why does this keep happening?

Mecklenburg county's adoption of a pretrial risk assessment tool resulted in its jail population dropping by 11 percent, without having a significant impact on court appearance rates or percentage of defendants charged with new crimes. #bailreform
