Place of artificial intelligence in the detection and investigation of crime: the present state and future perspectives

摘要

The article analyses an area that has not yet received sufficient scientific attention: the useof artificial intelligence in the investigation of criminal offences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) isa widely discussed topic with rapidly developing technologies that will undoubtedly occupy an important place in criminal investigation and law enforcement activities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving group of technologies. These technologies can provide economic and social benefits in a wide variety of industries and social activities. AI systems are widely used in the interactive world, search engines, digital assistants, computer game development, and security systems, as well as by law enforcement authorities and their techniques. In law enforcement authorities, AI systems are applied in process automation (document analysis, automatically generated messages, etc.), vehicles (automatic license plate scanning, recording of violations), facial recognition systems (in airports, when crossing the state border), robots (automatic demining robots) and internet technologies. Currently, significant investments and resources are being allocated in Lithuania and worldwide in order to improve AI algorithms and usage possibilities1 in both law enforcement authorities and ordinary people’s lives.
