Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a variety of opportunities for law enforcement to automate processes and tasks. AI applications like facial recognition are already in use to facilitate investigations and assist in identifying persons of interest. AI can also be utilized to identify patterns of behavior exposing criminal networks and even offer the prospect of helping to identify officers at risk. AI has strong capabilities that can help to protect victims of crime. The promise of AI is not without controversy. As practitioners look to apply AI to issues confronting policing, there is growing concern over its use. Worldwide, countries are developing frameworks to address the proper use of AI. This session will look at those efforts and offer insights on the proper use of AI in law enforcement.
