AI in Policing: Promises, Provocations, & Policies
- Registration Closed
Law enforcement is facing challenges that can seem insurmountable to even veteran public safety leaders. Effectively policing through a pandemic, contending with demands for social justice, and navigating the complexity of reimagining policing while contending with budget and staffing limitations are just a few of the challenges. Technology leveraging artificial intelligence may prove particularly valuable as policing moves forward. Law enforcement must be deliberately mindful to balance operational advantages with community concerns for privacy and the preservation of civil rights. This provides an interesting overview of both available and emerging AI solutions. Strategies to engage with communities will be reviewed as well as key considerations when creating policy.
- Participants will be equipped to intelligently describe various AI applications in use by police.
- Participants will be able to anticipate common community concerns related to police use of AI Tech.
- Participants will be able to craft policies to address common concerns related to police use of AI.
