Open Data and AI Technology can play an important part in enhancing the justice system. Recently, Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ) in collaboration with ChangeFusion and several partners held the 2nd Roundtable on Technology for Justice Series (Project j: jX Justice Experiment) under the topic “Open Data and AI for Participatory Justice”. Open data is a set of machine-readable information that can be freely used, shared and built-on by anyone, anywhere. However, as these tools become more sophisticated, they have the potential to alleviate the bias and inefficiencies facing the justice system, while improving fairness and safety. The reform of a fair justice system is indeed a challenging undertaking which calls for all stakeholders’ cooperation.
