PROBabLE Futures Consultation Response to Sir Brian Leveson’s Independent Review of the Criminal Courts (2025)

This response to Sir Brian Leveson’s Independent Review of the Criminal Courts is submitted by a team of academic researchers with extensive expertise in the ethical, legal, safeguarding, and operational applications of data analytics and AI within the criminal justice system. Our work is anchored in the RAI Keystone Project, “PROBabLE Futures”, a four-year research initiative focused on evaluating probabilistic AI systems across the criminal justice sector. The project aims to develop a responsible, practical, and ‘operational-ready’ framework in collaboration with multiple criminal justice partners.
