Artificial intelligence (AI) methods and machine learning (ML) are receiving growing attention and have been applied in diverse fields ranging from computational biology to biomedical and medical applications. In the forensic field ML techniques are widely used in the area of Neuroprediction, with applications in assessing the risk of crime recidivism in several contexts, such as prison rehabilitation programs, pretrial risk assessment, and sentencing. However, several ethical concerns have been raised in their massive use and incorporation into the criminal trial regarding their questionable fairness, accountability and transparency.
To overcome these ethical issues, this highly interdisciplinary projects aims at developing models and an (Explainable & Trustworthy) AI-based Decision Support System (DSS) (Virtual Forensic Experts) to guide and support forensic psychiatric evaluations of criminal responsibility and social dangerousness, in order to make them more objective, transparent, and reliable.
Our unique team composition allows us to exploit:
1) Retrospective data available in 320 forensic psychiatric reports made in criminal proceedings and already used as evidence in the trial, provided by 16 forensic psychiatrists from the Northern, Central and Southern Italy.
2) Expert knowledge for all the relevant forensic domains, namely: psychopathology and personality traits of subjects affected by mental illnesses who commit crimes, risk factors of criminal acts, criminal responsibility and social dangerousness, psychiatric epidemiology in subjects who have committed crimes. Expertise on forensic experts' decision making and insanity defense will be covered by a post-doc position.
3) Long-term expertise in AI and Model Checking methods to design AI-based DSS, particularly in the gynecology domain (Melatti, key person and task leader of the EC FP7 PAEON project "Model Driven Computation of Treatments for Infertility Related Endocrinological Diseases").
