Jurisdiction with the help of artificial intelligence is not science fiction, it has long been practiced: In the USA, people have been imprisoned because a computer program made an unfavorable social forecast for them.

Christoph Burchard can explain how far the software has developed and whether it will one day make Richter superfluous.

He is a professor of criminal law at the Goethe University and principal investigator in the Frankfurt research network "Normative Orders".

On October 19 at 7:30 p.m., Burchard will be a guest in the “Wissenschaft im Dialog” series, which is being organized by the Polytechnische Gesellschaft, the Historische Villa Metzler gGmbH and the FAZ-Vor Vorteilswelt.

After the panel discussion with FAZ editor Sascha Zoske, Burchard will answer questions that can be asked by the live audience or via chat.

A limited number of places for the event have been raffled off among FAZ subscribers.

Anyone interested who has not yet subscribed can register under this link and follow the evening via live stream.

A registration link for the event will be sent separately via email shortly after registration.

Print and e-paper subscribers can register for the event via the FAZ-Vor Vorteilswelt.
