Media Advisory: The impact of AI in the courtroom

Published

on

Reston, Va., June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Who: Members of the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, captioners, and legal videographers, who serve on the Association’s STRONG Committee, are available to discuss the perils of relying on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital recordings to capture the official record. These methods can easily jeopardize a person’s right to a fair trial or appeal, as well as subject personal identifiable information (PII) to potential unsecured situations. NCRA’s STRONG Committee works to promote stenographic captioning and court reporting as the best means to maintain the accuracy of the record.

  • Learn more now by contacting Annemarie Roketenetz at [email protected], to set up an interview about issues being posed by the use of AI and digital recording methods.

What: Key points every consumer should know, and every courtroom should not ignore

  • This is the story about the infiltration of algorithmic bias into our justice system as courts experiment with ASR.
  • Every week, there are new releases and new discoveries in the arms race of artificial intelligence. ChatGPT has disrupted multiple markets from journalism to academia to coding to search engines, but the public is largely uninformed about this story as it pertains to the courts and our justice system.
  • For decades, for-profit companies and court administrators have been trying to replace certified and licensed court stenographers with recording devices. The magnetic cassette tape has given way to digital recording systems, and while all claim to replace human stenographic court reporters for less cost, in reality they can be more expensive to implement and maintain and are far less reliable.
  • Human stenographic court reporters cannot be stopped by power outages,  internet failures , overlapping speech, or background noise. When recording systems fail, the results can be not only catastrophic and costly, but life-altering for the people involved.
  • As real concerns about deepfakes emerge, court reporters are a firewall of neutrality.  They provide an unbiased certification to their first-hand knowledge and faithful record of proceedings, guarantee a chain of custody of that record, and are backed by regulatory and licensing oversight.

Where: It’s happening across the nation

  • Legislation and court rules attempting to enable these subpar methods are already pending in states like California and Illinois and are already doing real damage in others such as Texas and Alaska. Taxpayers need to know if the aforementioned for-profit companies are engaging in back-office conversations with decision makers. Without journalists  sounding the alarm, these changes may be implemented without the input and scrutiny of the general public. If we wait until the truly horrific technology-enabled miscarriages of justice start rolling in, it will be too late.

Why: The cost is high when it comes to protecting the fairness and integrity of our judicial proceedings

  • Courts are experimenting with AI and  audio recording equipment repackaged for the legal sector, using real cases and litigants as guinea pigs.  These deals are happening quietly behind closed doors between court administrators and large tech companies who stand to profit from the monopolization and monetization of court documents.
  • To the informed tech enthusiast, it will come as no surprise that the predictive text models upon which these speech recognition engines are built are shockingly discriminatory against people of color; women; individuals with disabilities; or individuals who have unique speech patterns, accents, or dialects. The fact that this nascent and unproven technology is being proposed in one of our most important and consequential venues, the justice system, should be of utmost concern.

The court reporting and captioning professions offer viable career choices that do not require a four-year college degree and yet offer good salaries, flexible schedules, and interesting venues.

Court reporters and captioners rely on the latest in technology,  using stenographic machines along with advanced computer programs to capture the spoken word and translate it into written text in real time. These professionals work both in and out of the courtroom  preserving court proceedings and depositions, providing live captioning of events, and assisting members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities with gaining access to information, entertainment, educational opportunities, and more.

To arrange an interview with a working court reporter or captioner, or to learn more about the lucrative and flexible court reporting or captioning professions and the many job opportunities currently available, contact [email protected].

About NCRA
The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) has been internationally recognized for promoting excellence among those who capture and convert the spoken word to text for more than 100 years. NCRA is committed to supporting its more than 12,000 members in achieving the highest level of professional expertise with educational opportunities and industry-recognized court reporting, educator, and videographer certification programs. NCRA impacts legislative issues and the global marketplace through its actively involved membership.

Forbes has named court reporting as one of the best career options that do not require a traditional four-year degree. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the court reporting field is expected to be one of the fastest areas of projected employment growth across all occupations. According to 247/WallSt.com, the court reporting profession ranks sixth out of 25 careers with the lowest unemployment rate, just 0.7 percent. Career information about the court reporting profession—one of the leading career options that do not require a traditional four-year degree—can be found at NCRA DiscoverSteno.org.

logicalis-2024-cio-report:-sustainability-a-top-focus-for-tech-investment

Sustainability is a focus for global CIOs, with the majority investing in environmental initiatives and technologies, according to Logicalis’ 10th annual CIO report96% of CIOs say their function is involved in their company’s overall sustainability planning and target-setting90% believe it’s important to assess the sustainability credentials of new suppliersLONDON, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Logicalis, the leading global technology service provider, reveals sustainability is a key priority for tech leaders in 2024. According to its tenth annual CIO Report, which surveyed over 1,000 CIOs globally, almost all (92%) CIOs are investing in sustainability initiatives or technologies this year.

In the face of global economic uncertainty, the commitment to the green agenda among CIOs stands resolute with CIOs at the heart of their organisation’s sustainability strategy. 96% of tech leaders said that they are already involved in their company’s overall sustainability planning and target setting, and 93% said that they believe IT is core to successfully delivering on their organisation’s environmental objectives. An overwhelming 90% also said that they assess the sustainability credentials of new suppliers before working with them.
Sustainability continues to be recognised as a necessary investment by businesses, as it not only benefits the environment but also reduces energy consumption and operational costs. However, there are still stumbling blocks to overcome. Most (93%) see challenges in attaining their environmental goals, with 43% stating that collecting data distributed across the organisation is a challenge. A similar number are not completely confident that their organisation knows how its digital estate is performing against environmental goals.
Reflecting on the findings at Logicalis’ Global CIO summit in London, Bob Bailkoski, Logicalis CEO, said: “Investing in sustainability is not only the right thing to do, it’s a commercial imperative for business. We know that a reduction in carbon and energy consumption also means lower costs, and with regulations on carbon reporting becoming more stringent, prioritising sustainability now will serve CIOs well later.”
“We’re working very closely with our partners to ensure there is carbon accountability on our part in the outcomes we deliver through technology, and through visibility tools, like our Digital Fabric Platform, we’re empowering customers themselves to better manage the carbon performance of their IT estate.” 
Toby Alcock, Logicalis Chief Technology Officer, said: “CIOs globally continue to face pressure when it comes to prioritising innovation, balancing costs and decreasing carbon output, but these priorities don’t have to compete. With access to good data, CIOs should be able to see where to find short and long-term gains, both environmentally and financially. What’s more, they are well-positioned to attract new customers who are looking to allocate their business to more sustainable suppliers.”
“The fact that IT is now involved in sustainability at a strategic level should ensure that any initiatives have the right infrastructure and support to succeed.”

Ripple and Bitrue Drive XRPL Community Growth

Published

on

ripple-and-bitrue-drive-xrpl-community-growth

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ripple, developers of top 10 coin XRP, along with the leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue, have recently released a new promotional video highlighting the history of support that Bitrue has shown towards the XRPL community.

This short video, filmed at Paris Blockchain Week in April of 2024, details Bitrue’s involvement in the XRP ecosystem since its launch in 2018. The messaging is delivered by Shruti Kohli, Bitrue’s Global Head of Business Development, and touches on Bitrue’s future plans for the coin.
In the present time support for the coin is growing, not only amid the wider cryptocurrency community but also from Bitrue directly. New tokens that launch on the exchange are often paired with XRP for trading, allowing token developers to directly tap into the XRP community while simultaneously increasing the direct utility of XRP. XRP is also included in all current features on Bitrue, including staking, loans, futures trading, and more.
The exchange has additionally launched an exclusive new staking opportunity celebrating the release of this promotional video. For a limited time only, all users are able to stake their XRP with Bitrue to receive 7% APY over a 7 day period. New users to the exchange also have an additional opportunity in the form of a 50% APY staking option over a 3 day lockup period. Users are encouraged to head to Bitrue.com today to participate.
XRP remains the #1 focus of the exchange, with several projects building on the XRP Ledger set to launch on the exchange within the upcoming months.
Since its launch in 2018, Bitrue has been on a remarkable journey, always championing the utility and adoption of XRP. What follows is a short history of how Bitrue has been at the forefront of driving support for XRP, fostering innovation, and standing strong during challenging times.
2018: Embracing XRP’s Potential
In July 2018, Bitrue was one of the first centralized cryptocurrency exchanges to list XRP, recognizing its immense potential when others overlooked it. They immediately elevated XRP to one of their Top 4 base currencies, allowing users to trade dozens of altcoins directly with XRP as a base. The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of thousands of XRP holders finding solace in Bitrue’s unwavering support. Moreover, users have been enjoying 0 withdrawal fees for XRP on Bitrue since then.
In addition, Bitrue also became the first exchange to list XRP as its base currency. Today, Bitrue is still the only exchange that lists XRP as a base currency, with dozens of XRP-based trading pairs.
Later in 2018, Bitrue proudly introduced the investment tool Power Piggy, offering XRP holders a passive income instrument. Moreover, they were among the first to offer a passive income instrument for XRP Holders, Power Piggy, making it part of the initial batch of tokens eligible for investment.
2019: Pioneering Innovative Features
Throughout 2019, Bitrue continued to prioritize XRP in all newly launched features. They launched a low-interest crypto lending platform, becoming the first exchange to provide XRP-collateralized lending services for the XRP community.
Furthermore, Bitrue has taken a significant step by running a UNL XRPL validator, demonstrating a strong dedication to the growth of the XRP ecosystem. This validator is part of the Unique Node List (UNL), a compilation of validators that network participants, including servers, trust not to engage in fraudulent activities.
Notable events during the year included Ripple’s endorsement of its partnership with Bitrue in supporting XRP adoption when Bitrue attended Ripple Swell 2019 in Singapore. Bitrue also participated in #XRPMeetupJapan as an official sponsor.
2020: Upholding Resilience in Challenging Times
In June 2020, they further solidified support for XRP by becoming the first exchange to embrace PayString, simplifying XRP addresses into an email-like format. In late 2020, many exchanges delisted XRP due to the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit. However, Bitrue stayed loyal to the XRP community, categorically refusing to delist XRP and providing continuous trading and investment opportunities for the community. Bitrue never delisted XRP, which remains true today.
2021-2023: Continued Holistic Support for the XRP Ecosystem
In January 2021, Bitrue again proved its dedication by being the first exchange to complete $FLR distribution in the form of IOUs and supporting $FLR trading. They continued to extend holistic support during the largest XRP community airdrop event in January 2023, reaffirming the commitment to the XRP community.
Since launching in 2018, Bitrue has also listed and supported XRP native tokens like CasinoCoin ($CSC), Sologenic ($SOLO), Coreum ($CORE), Equilibrium Games ($EQ), and many more. All XRP native tokens can be found listed here. Bitrue is also one of the first exchanges supporting manual relocation and recovery of missing deposits where there are missing tags or incorrect tags for the XRP community.
Today: Looking into the Future
Looking towards the future, Ripple’s recent landmark victory against the SEC is a potential turning point for the broader crypto ecosystem. It highlights the unique opportunities offered by elements like smart contracts and algorithmic currencies. Bitrue is committed to wholeheartedly supporting and actively exploring opportunities to grow in tandem with the XRP ecosystem, fostering its future endeavors and development.
Bitrue is proud to have been part of the XRP journey since 2018. As the crypto landscape evolves, they remain committed to empowering the #XRPCommunity, embracing potential opportunities, and contributing to the bright future of XRP. With XRP continuing to gain strength among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, they stand firm as the steadfast partner that has always prioritized the usage of XRP and supported its ecosystem. Together, let’s move forward into a world where XRP adoption and utility thrive.
About Bitrue
Launched in July 2018, Bitrue is a diversified digital asset exchange that supports trading, loans, and investments. Bitrue aims to utilize blockchain technology to bring financial opportunities to everybody regardless of their location or financial position. It has offices in Asia and Europe and continues to develop new features at a rapid speed to fully service the new wave of the digital economy. More information is available on Bitrue’s website.
