AI, Justice, and the Rule of Law

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future challenge for justice systems. It is already being used in courtrooms, shaping evidence, decision-making, and access to justice. Yet many judicial professionals lack the guidance and tools to assess these systems in line with fundamental rights and the rule of law. To address this gap, UNESCO and the University of Oxford have launched AI, Justice and Rule of Law. This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is designed to help justice professionals navigate the ethical, legal, and human rights challenges of AI.
