The appropriate scope of the use of sophisticated computer programs by government agencies is likely to be one of the most important topics in administrative law and administrative justice in the next decade. This panel will discuss how administrative law decision makers are using algorithms to collect overpayments of welfare benefits, to fix accurate sentences and conditions of release for prison inmates. This session will also explore how simple AI systems are being used to triage incoming legal claims and issues to improve access to justice, procedural fairness and general tribunal operation.
