Last year, 2023, was a watershed year in elevating both public discussion and government action in addressing the use of artificial intelligence (AI). AI presents a variety of opportunities for law enforcement to enhance processes and tasks while concurrently impacting the way policing is conducted. It also is a growing threat in the hands of criminal elements and even state actors. Using a case study approach, this panel will examine the benefits, challenges, and controversies of AI use in law enforcement operations and processes. Case studies will also demonstrate growing threats from malevolent uses of AI. Within a context of growing worldwide governmental focus, police executives will learn risk approaches to manage AI and the consequences for using AI improperly or failing to use it at all.
