In the UK, a police department is testing an AI system called Soze, which has the potential to help law enforcement quickly solve long-standing unsolved cases. According to Sky News, this AI program developed in Australia can compress decades of investigative work into just a few hours. There is currently no detailed data on the accuracy of this AI system, which is undoubtedly a significant concern. It is well-known that AI models sometimes generate inaccurate information or even produce false content.

In India, the issue of missing children is becoming increasingly serious. By the end of 2023, the number of missing children had risen to 47,000. To address this challenge, the police have started using artificial intelligence technology to help solve cases. In January 2024, the Delhi Police successfully cracked a 'blind case' thanks to the assistance of AI. The police formed a 30-member team to reconstruct the facial features of an unidentified man using AI technology. Since the man's face was damaged beyond recognition, the AI-generated image became crucial.

The police in New Mexico, USA, used AI-generated images of a virtual 14-year-old girl to lure sexual offenders, aiming to investigate the protection of children from sexual exploitation on the Snapchat platform. This method has sparked discussions on ethics, legality, and AI ethics, particularly regarding the legality of AI-generated images, privacy rights, and consent issues. Legal experts point out that creating and using deepfake child sexual abuse material is illegal and concerning. Moreover, the requirement for real children's images as training datasets for AI-generated images raises concerns about children.

The Oklahoma City Police Department is experimenting with the AI chatbot 'Draft One' to generate reports in order to save time. Developed by Axon, the system utilizes ChatGPT technology to quickly produce reports from audio recordings. Supporters believe this could significantly improve efficiency, but critics are concerned about potential errors, biases, and the risks of power abuse that automation could bring. Activist Aurelius Francisco expresses discomfort with the use of AI and tasers from the same company, fearing potential misuse.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) announced the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze surveillance licensing data, aiming to identify money laundering and fraud activities. The AFP stated that they expect AI technology to enhance the efficiency of policing, although its current usage is limited. AI tools, including large language models, are expected to help discover useful information within large-scale data, thus accelerating decision-making and actions. This initiative is particularly important in combating economic crimes, as these crimes involve complex data and patterns. The AFP emphasized transparency, ethics, and legality, ensuring data protection and privacy.
