Welcome to AI week – a week of focus on AI

In this first presentation from our final webinar on AI, Chief Philip Lukens explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in policing and justice.

The main themes discussed include AI and human interaction, crime prevention, crime detection, crime response, ethical considerations, and challenges.

The importance of maintaining human interaction and community trust while implementing AI is highlighted. The conversation also touches on topics such as predictive policing, surveillance, facial recognition, behavioural analytics, training, and data privacy. The potential benefits and challenges of AI in law enforcement are also explored, with an emphasis on collaboration with stakeholders and the public.

Takeaways

• AI holds the key to revolutionizing policing, but human interaction and community trust must remain at the forefront.
• Predictive policing can be enhanced with responsible data dashboards and a layered approach that considers various factors.
• Surveillance should be balanced with privacy concerns and collaboration between public and private entities.
• Crime detection can benefit from a combination of facial recognition, automated license plate readers, and data analytics.
• Ethical considerations, biases, and privacy issues must be addressed when implementing AI in law enforcement.
• Collaboration with stakeholders and the public is crucial for gaining trust and ensuring the ethical use of AI.
• Training, back-end efficiency, and technology bias are important aspects to consider in AI-powered policing.
• Data privacy, blockchain technology, and cloud migration are key considerations for the future of AI in law enforcement.
• AI can revolutionize law enforcement by improving problem-solving, officer training, and community engagement.
• Responsible implementation of AI is necessary before considering artificial general intelligence.

Sound Bites

• “AI holds the key to revolutionizing policing and like never before.”
• “We want to be able to provide that to the public so that way they know we’re aware of racial biases.”
• “Predictive policing is a combination of data, programs, and crime by design.”
