Artificial Intelligence in modern policing : understanding the multifaceted impacts

Abstract

This article comprehensively examines the multifaceted impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on modern law enforcement, considering stakeholders, societal implications, and results analysis. In an era of rapid AI advancement, law enforcement increasingly leverages AI for enhanced operational efficiency, public safety, and addressing challenges. The paper begins with predictive policing, using machine learning to analyze historical crime data and predict hotspots, exploring its impact on stakeholders and societal implications. The role of AI in investigative processes, particularly facial recognition aiding suspect identification and forensics, is assessed with attention to privacy, accuracy, and transparency. AI's role in digital forensics and cybercrime detection is discussed, emphasizing stakeholder involvement, ethical concerns, and the balance between privacy and security. Integration of AI in police operations and resource management is examined, focusing on AI-driven decision-making, optimized patrols, resource allocation, and emergency responses.
