AI has the potential to provide significant benefits in the law enforcement domain, including enhanced analysis and optimization of information, improved efficiency and effectiveness, and increased compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Intelligence After Next: Artificial Intelligence Application Approaches for Law Enforcement
Law enforcement (LE) is one of the most challenging environments for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) due to the complexities of laws, policies, and practices that must be complied with, as well as the intense public scrutiny that comes with technological advancements in this field. Nonetheless, AI has the potential to provide significant benefits in the LE domain, including enhanced analysis and optimization of information, improved efficiency and effectiveness, and increased compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Moreover, by partially automating administrative tasks, AI can help reduce the burden of paperwork and allow practitioners to focus on higher-value tasks. The adoption of AI should not aim to replace the human element in policing and investigation; instead, the use of AI should seek to enhance the ability of LE to conduct its mission more efficiently and effectively. Ultimately, the successful integration of AI into law enforcement holds significant promise in enhancing LE’s ability to carry out its mission of protecting the American people.
