Is Algorithmic Policing Fundamentally Incompatible with the Charter? Join for a conversation featuring the authors of To Surveil and Predict: A Human Rights Analysis of Algorithmic Policing, the latest research report from the Citizen Lab and International Human Rights Program at University of Toronto.

Algorithmic policing refers to algorithm-driven or artificial intelligence-driven technologies used by law enforcement, including "predictive policing" software and algorithmic surveillance tools. These technologies automatically collect, process, and analyze massive data sets on a large scale for the purposes of informing policing and other criminal justice decisions, including drawing inferences to “predict” future criminal activity before it occurs. Canadian police services across the country are already using, developing, procuring, or considering these technologies, including person-focused and location-focused predictive policing programs, facial recognition, social media surveillance, and social network analysis.
Algorithmic policing raises many concerning constitutional and civil liberties implications under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international human rights law. Potential human rights violations may arise from issues such as invasive forms of surveillance of personal data and mass data, algorithmic and systemic bias, discriminatory impacts, lack of transparency, and due process concerns. In some ways, the use of algorithmic policing technology is fundamentally incompatible with constitutional and human rights protections, particularly concerning rights relating to liberty, equality, and privacy.
