This panel will explore the current and future capabilities of AI, its limitations and how best to leverage it for effective policing:

  • Examining what AI can do broadly
  • Exploring the functionality of AI in a crime center
  • Utilizing AI and Machine Learning for predictive and preventative crime fighting
  • Analysing the ramifications and legal impactions for citizen privacy, governance and equality
  • Considerations for Machine Learning and how “teachable” software may learn embedded biases affecting marginalized people and marginalized neighbourhoods
  • Debating what is good data, and whether historical data is a benefit to current and future policing initiatives
