Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Law Enforcement: Balancing Innovation, Ethics, and Risk Management For Municipal Lawyers

CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative possibilities for law enforcement, from streamlining administrative tasks to improving operational efficiency. When you mention AI in law enforcement, many will think of facial recognition, firearms detection systems, document and video redaction, and automated report writing. While all these are AI uses in law enforcement, do you know how your police officers are managing them? Are they attempting to use AI Chatbots as an “easy button”? Are they aware of AI’s susceptibility to bias and the potential for bias and errors, and how this can create increased risk in future litigation?

Legal advisors must ensure that their police leaders are using AI ethically by providing robust oversight and clear communication about their applications to their members. By prioritizing ethical considerations and keeping humans at the center of decision-making, law enforcement can navigate the complexities of AI while fostering public confidence and managing risk. Legal advisors will learn why a little preemptive interaction now may help prevent surprises in future litigation discovery.
