I had an unbelievable experience @firesideconf this past weekend. It was an honour to speak on the Access to Justice panel w/ @snafisahmed from @RyersonLIZ and Sophie Tremblay from @NOVAlex_MTL. Thx @minuteboxinc for the invite! I highly recommend attending next year! #legaltech

Perhaps its not a 'lenient' system, but rather an overburdened and inefficient one that often results in inaccurate assessments? #onpoli @ClaOntario @marksaunderstps #bailreform

"Our broken bail system disproportionately impacts people of colour and brings our criminal justice system into disrepute. We must adopt data-driven policies to help fix it." Founder @Fahad_Diwan on the need for #bailreform @OntarioNDP #BlackCaucus's deputation session. #onpoli

“We just want to find a way to make the system better, faster, economical.” @Fahad_Diwan from @RyersonLIZ is developing @Smart_Bail, an algorithm that will be able to assess whether to keep people in jail. @TorontoStar ow.ly/SXxI50vbyO3

Fruitful consultation this morning on @Ontario's data strategy with the Ontario Digital Service. Opening up criminal justice data (and bail system data in particular) will make the system better for all Ontarians.
Thanks for organizing & hosting @BrookfieldIIE.

Interesting fact: Sweden has no bail system! We looked into this after watching @GurdeepA on the @CP24Breakfast show this morning talking about @asvpxrocky's pre-trial detention. Check out this @VICE article for more information!

.@C_Mulroney, it is time that Ontario adopts a cost reducing, transparent and objective pre-trial risk assessment tool powered by machine learning like @smart_bail! Our research shows we can save Ontario up to $17.8M a year while reducing reliance on lawyers to do bail hearings!

About 15 minutes ago, as a result of @fordnation cuts, all defence lawyers in Ontario were told that Legal Aid will not pay lawyers to do bail hearings for most accused. This is significant, as bail often determines EVERYTHING in a person's case.

.@LegalAidOntario, maybe it's time to adopt a better, cheaper solution to making bail determinations, like an objective and transparent pre-trial risk assessment tool powered by machine learning? #bailreform #fordcuts @fordnation

Thanks @IVADO_Qc @MILAMontreal for organizing a 4-day conference on #bias & #discrimination in #AI! I learned a lot from the incredibly knowledgeable guest speakers present. Highlights include @CorriveauNoel discussing his team's development of the Algorithmic Impact Assessment.

In the wake of the St. Cloud/Antic/Myers trilogy signaling the fundamental importance of bail, why does this keep happening?

Mecklenburg county's adoption of a pretrial risk assessment tool resulted in its jail population dropping by 11 percent, without having a significant impact on court appearance rates or percentage of defendants charged with new crimes. #bailreform

Had the privilege today to hear the Rt. Hon. Beverley McLachlin talk about uncovering systemic bias in the justice system and ask her a question about using legal technology and @smart_bail to help do so. Thank you @leveljustice for organizing the event. #FacingResistanceTO

Best birthday wish ever! Thank you @MicheleRomanow @cbcdragon for the motivating words and shout-out to @smart_bail. Being an #entrepreneur is tough and the last couple of weeks have been particularly challenging. Your words of encouragement mean a lot! Thx @BenamArdalan ❤ 🎁.
