Police and crime: Trends Report 2023, Quantumrun Foresight

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and recognition systems in policing is increasing, and although these technologies might enhance police work, they often raise critical ethical concerns. For example, algorithms assist in various aspects of policing, such as predicting crime hotspots, analyzing facial recognition footage, and assessing the risk of suspects. 

However, the accuracy and fairness of these AI systems are regularly investigated due to growing concerns over the potential for bias and discrimination. The use of AI in policing also raises questions about accountability, as it often needs to be made clear who is responsible for the decisions made by algorithms. This report section will consider some of the trends in police and crime technology (and their ethical consequences) that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
