AI and Prosecution is a collaboration between the Vanderbilt Project on Prosecution Policy (VPOPP) and NYU Law's Policing Project. Based on a comprehensive literature review and interviews with prosecutors nationwide, this report catalogs current AI applications in prosecution, explores future uses, assesses benefits and risks, and offers recommendations for effective governance of the use of this powerful technology.


The report includes recommendation for how prosecutors can mitigate risks, including on transparency and disclosure, developing clear policies and guidelines, validating and monitoring the technology, ensuring human oversight, and protecting fundamental rights.
