How AI and Data Could Transform Criminal Justice with Allison Pierre | Ep 21
What happens when a former federal prosecutor turns reformer, and uses data and AI to change the system from the inside out?
This week on Rights and Remedies, host Alison Mahoney is joined by Allison Pierre, founder of Innovative Prosecution Consulting. After years working at the Brooklyn DA’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C., Allison pivoted to fight for fairness in a different way: helping prosecutors and public defenders harness the power of data and AI to improve outcomes, reduce bias, and deliver justice more effectively.
We cover:
- Why only a small fraction of U.S. prosecutor offices use data well
- What AI tools like Axon and JusticeTech are already doing in court
- How bias can sneak into AI - and what guardrails are essential
- The tension between innovation, ethics, and security in law
- Allison’s inspiring journey from “courtroom theatre” to systems change
This is a powerful conversation at the intersection of law, technology, and justice reform.
