Computers v. Crime with NOVA

In police departments and courts across the country, artificial intelligence is being used to help decide who is policed, who gets bail, how offenders should be sentenced, and who gets parole. But is it actually making our law enforcement and court systems fairer and more just?  

NOVA explores these questions in Computers v. Crime, an investigation into the hidden biases, privacy risks, and design flaws of this controversial technology.  

Join us for a screening of a selection of clips from the film paired with a panel discussion featuring leading experts in technology, science, and social justice. 

NOVA's Computers v. Crime premiered WED OCT 12 at 9/8c on PBS. Check local listings for details. It will also be available for streaming online and via the PBS Video App.
