The Law Enforcement Implications of Global AI Regulation

• In Event: Quantitative Methods WG. Panel 4. Emerging Issues Related to AI , Surveillance, and Data Protection

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is causing significant changes across civil society, science and industry, and governments are beginning to respond to the practical, economic, and democratic challenges of these emerging technologies. In the domain of law enforcement, concerns about the threats of AI for fundamental rights are especially salient. This paper offers an overview of the trends in AI regulation in three major international spheres, the European Union, USA, and China, and how these pertain to future law enforcement. It presents initial comparative analysis on the legislative frameworks indicated in these zones, highlighting the differing stances towards human rights, innovation, and the preservation of state power adopted by these legislatures. With law enforcement capacities particularly controversial, these diverging approaches will reshape international coordination on public safety and operational policing.
