\n2 p.m. \u2014 Session 3: Applying Algorithms to Forensic Science Analysis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nIn this two-part session, learn how algorithms are becoming a helpful tool and critical considerations for their implementation. Separate panels will deliver each section and be available for discussion immediately following their respective presentations.<\/p>\n
Part 1:<\/b> Discover algorithmic approaches currently being implemented in forensic science labs and disciplines.<\/p>\n
Part 2:<\/b> Consider the ethical implications of algorithms and when they should or should not be explored as an option.<\/p>\n
