1.50pm – 2.25pm ACST, 24 May 2023 ‐ 35 mins

Parallel Workshops

Prison and Probation Service of Finland has implemented a new offender management system Roti. The purposes of Roti are to 1) replace two existing legacy systems, 2) develop and simplify offender management processes by tearing down historical fences between prison and community sanctions, 3) tighten compliance regulation and 4) change work environment to ensure planned and goal-oriented offender management process. Roti includes RISE AI, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) -based tool to assess offenders’ risks and needs and recommend them suitable services. It provides efficient and effective sentence planning and an enhanced compatibility between offenders’ needs and the services provided. Aurora AI is a national AI & recommender system by Ministry of Finance helping citizens to find public services with more compatibility between services and citizens’ needs. It’s currently tested with offenders to help them reintegrate to the society. We present our experiences from these projects.
