Session Type: Workshop
Colorado Probation had a problem. It could be difficult and time consuming to determine a probation client’s full history on probation without combing through hundreds of narrative entries and digging through multiple data sources for crumbs of information that would create a holistic picture of the client. Thankfully, a group of UC Berkeley Master’s students had a solution: leveraging data modeling and artificial intelligence to create a Case Assistant tool that can put this information at an officer’s fingertips. This session will focus on the process and the product of this partnership, highlighting our work together, how we were able to safeguard sensitive data while using artificial intelligence, lessons learned along the way, and a demonstration of the tool that was created using rapid prototyping in less than four months. We will also discuss implications for Colorado Probation and how the tool can facilitate the use of EBPs.
