Programming Violence Prevention: The Use of AI in Threat Assessment

Presentation by career prosecutor Wendy Patrick, JD, PhD: “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an integral part of our Brave New World. And with an understanding of its advantages and limitations, it can be used appropriately and effectively as a dynamite tool of both prediction and prevention within the realm of threat assessment. This program will discuss how law enforcement and security professionals of all types can use AI to detect and prevent targeted violence from the conference room, to the classroom, to the courtroom.” Ms. Patrick is a career prosecutor with decades of experience in threat assessment, an Association of Threat Assessment Professionals certified threat manager, and writes and speaks about threat assessment both domestically and internationally.
