About
Arthur Rizer is a leading voice at the intersection of criminal justice reform and technology. His research focuses on how artificial intelligence and data-driven tools can be leveraged to create a more efficient, equitable, and just legal system. His most-cited work, "Artificial Intelligence Can Make Our Jail System More Efficient, Equitable and Just" (2018), with 22 citations, argues for the responsible deployment of AI to reduce human bias in pretrial detention and sentencing. As a former police officer and federal prosecutor turned policy innovator, Rizer brings a rare, ground-level perspective to his scholarship, challenging both conservative and progressive orthodoxies. Beyond his academic contributions, he is a prominent public intellectual, frequently testifying before Congress and writing for major outlets. His work has been instrumental in shaping bipartisan discussions on algorithmic fairness, risk assessment tools, and the decriminalization of poverty, making him a pivotal figure in the movement to modernize America’s justice system through technology.
