Quality of data sets that feed AI and big data applications for law enforcement

Abstract

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), where aggregated data is used to learn about patterns and for decision-making, quality of input data seems to be of paramount importance. Poor data quality may lead not only to wrong outcomes, which will simply render the application useless, but more importantly to fundamental rights breaches and undermined trust in the public authorities using such applications. In law enforcement as in other sectors the question of how to ensure that data used for the development of big data and AI applications meet quality standards remains. This paper provides an overview of this topic, reporting selected issues stemming from big data, nonpersonal data and regulatory contexts. It concludes that the topic is still underexplored and sets areas for further research.

Using Information Technology for Comprehensive Analysis and Prediction in Forensic Evidence

“…This threat may also emerge if cases with the same or similar enough material circumstances are treated differently [18], [22]- [24] and if prosecutors and judges could create new crimes in order to punish behavior they do not condone. However, as new applications of AI for use in the legal field are being developed at a steady pace [25]- [27] another type of predictability has arisen and this form is not viewed exclusively positively [28]- [34]. The crime scene has long ceased to be a combination of time, place and evidence where people were.…”
