Artificial Justice - MtM On Tour

• Date: 08 February
• Time: 15:00
• Location: Filmhuis Den Haag

The Spanish government announces a referendum to approve an Artificial Intelligence Justice system for all Spanish courts. In practice, the system will replace every judge in the country. The referendum unleashes a fierce debate between two groups: the government, which promises to unclog and depoliticize the justice system using Spanish AI software, and the judges, who defend the exclusively human dimension of justice. The death of Alicia Kovack, the software’s creator while travelling in a self-driving car, sets off alarms. It is only the tip of the iceberg of a conspiracy to try and control the country’s justice system.
