AI and Policing: The Benefits and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence for Law Enforcement

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has the ability to completely transform policing; from advanced criminal analytics that reveal trends in vast amounts of data, to biometrics that allow the prompt and unique identification of criminals.

With the AI and policing report, produced through the Observatory function of the Europol Innovation Lab, they aim to provide insight into the present and future capabilities that AI offers, projecting a course for a more efficient, responsive and effective law enforcement model. This report offers in-depth exploration of the applications and implications of AI in the field of law enforcement, underpinned by the European Union's regulatory framework. It also looks at concerns about data bias, fairness, and potential threats on privacy, accountability, human rights protection and discrimination, which are particularly relevant in the background of the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act.

 

What can you expect? The report offers a comprehensive exploration of: 

✅ Advanced criminal analytics uncovering trends in vast data sets 

✅ Biometrics enabling swift and accurate criminal identification 

✅ The present and future capabilities of AI in law enforcement

✅ Analysis of the EU's novel regulatory framework for AI, from a law enforcement perspective.
