AI, Evidence, and Judicial Review: Emerging Challenges for Administrative Law
Presented by the CBA Alberta Administrative Law (South) Section
As administrative bodies increasingly adopt artificial intelligence and automated decision-making tools, practitioners face new questions about how to identify, investigate, and challenge their use. What evidence might establish that AI influenced an administrative decision? How can that evidence be introduced on judicial review? How do these developments challenge established principles of administrative law?
Join Professor Joe Tomlinson and Raj Sharma, KC, for a discussion that brings together academic and practical perspectives on these emerging issues. Drawing on Professor Tomlinson's previous and ongoing research and Mr. Sharma's firsthand experience navigating AI-related developments before the Federal Court and administrative tribunals, the speakers will examine what these developments mean for administrative law practitioners.
The session will explore the current state of practice, the implications of AI for established approaches to evidence in administrative law, and how judicial review may evolve as AI becomes more prevalent in administrative decision-making.
