Our 3rd Webinar concludes with a fascinating set of questions from the audience addressing the challenges and implications of using AI in law enforcement, particularly in the field of digital forensics.

Our panelists highlight the need for regulation and expertise in this area, as well as the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors, answering questions such as;

• “Do we need to train investigators to a much higher level ?”
• “Thoughts on the current Home Office code of guidance on when a device can be seized”
• “With such a lack of awareness of the intricacies of AI how is AI evidence being approached and accepted in court?”
• “Interoperability : How do we share good practice and what has gone wrong across forces globally ?” “How are we preparing ourselves for dealing with countries and entities who are not going to use AI ethically ?”
• “Will there have to be sacrifices to operationally security when incorporating Gen AI to assist in investigations, especially in Cyber Crime ?”

The conversation also touches on ethical issues, such as the use of AI in digital strip searches, and the need for data quality in implementing AI technologies.

Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for responsible and transparent use of AI in law enforcement.
