About the Webinar
AI in risk assessments isn’t coming, it’s already here, fundamentally reshaping how we gather, interpret, and act on information about justice-involved individuals. This conversation brings together practitioners, technologists, and researchers who have spent years developing and validating assessment tools to examine a critical question: Can artificial intelligence reduce bias where human processes have struggled?
Featuring long-standing member of the Vant4ge team and IJIS AI Working Group Chair, Casey Riley, Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Bret Bucklen, Director of Technology and Innovation for the Utah Department of Corrections, Kristi Holt, and Vant4ge Senior Manager of Business Development, JD Hosman, this discussion explores what happens when AI enters the assessment space. We’ll address the practical realities of implementing AI in corrections, alleviating staff burnout by handling time-consuming interviews, the transparency mechanisms used to ensure human oversight, the consistency gains that technology can deliver, and what it means when an algorithm can conduct a more standardized, less biased interview than we’ve seen in the past. This isn’t a pitch. It’s a reckoning with where the field is headed, how AI can restore meaning to frontline work, and what we owe the people whose futures depend on getting it right.
