Possibilities of applying artificial intelligence in the work of law enforcement agencies

Abstract

In the context of the development of neural networks and the legality of their use, the substantiated need to analyse the capabilities of artificial intelligence in the work of law enforcement agencies and to protect society from crime becomes increasingly relevant. The purpose of this study was to characterize the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement, specifically, its impact on the level of crime, its detection and investigation, and the overall efficiency of law enforcement agencies. Using the comparative legal method, the author assesses various approaches to the use of artificial intelligence and analyses scientific representations of this issue based on the dialectical method. The terminological and normative-dogmatic methods helped to investigate the interpretation of the term “artificial intelligence” in modern scientific discussions and to give an axiological assessment of this phenomenon. The systemic-structural and formal-logical methods helped to consider the specific features of introducing artificial intelligence into law enforcement at the present stage. The study highlights the impact of artificial intelligence tools on the efficiency of law enforcement agencies, and substantiates the need to introduce regulations at the state level to avoid the risks of using artificial intelligence in law enforcement considering European integration. It is argued that the use of artificial intelligence to protect society from threats should follow the internationally established principles of its responsible use, which has not yet been prescribed in law. The risks of using artificial intelligence for human safety were highlighted. The study identified the main trends, problems, and prospects for the introduction of artificial intelligence in law enforcement. International practices in the use of artificial intelligence tools were updated. The results of this study can be used in the development of state policy in the field of artificial intelligence, development of legal regulation of its use, integration of artificial intelligence into the activities of state bodies, including law enforcement agencies
