Speaker: Niraj Bhargava, CEO of NuEnergy.ai

Description:

The rise and proliferation of police use of AI-enabled tools, underscores the new challenge of AI governance for law enforcement. AI has emerged as a powerful tool in the fight against crime. From high-risk applications like pervasive surveillance and algorithmic policing, to moderate and low risk use cases like automated crime discovery and data categorization, AI is gradually transforming the landscape in law enforcement. It is well-recognized that with the promise of operational efficiencies and cutting edge innovation, comes the potential for negative impacts.
