Brandenburg's police rely on AI: data protection and innovation in focus!
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in policing is increasingly coming into focus. At an event in Potsdam, AI providers presented innovative solutions that are already being used in police work today. The Brandenburg police use AI to analyze data and digitize conversations, which could significantly increase the efficiency of fighting crime. While AI offers numerous opportunities, there are also challenges, especially when it comes to data protection.
The TactiScan company presented a new device capable of identifying substances in plastic bags with 100% accuracy. This could significantly reduce the need for complex wet chemical tests. With a price of around 5,000 euros, this device is aimed directly at police authorities who are already very interested in its use.
Data protection and legal framework conditions
Data protection issues play a central role in the use of AI solutions in the police. Dagmar Hartge, the data protection officer for the state of Brandenburg, calls for clear legal regulations that standardize and monitor the use of AI. State Secretary Frank Stolper from the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior plans to develop such regulations to ensure data protection and enable the uniform use of AI systems across all federal states.
The speakers at the event in Potsdam also discussed the data protection-friendly technology from Florian Domin from Secunet Security Networks AG, which can create virtual replicas for comparisons so that uninvolved people are not included in these processes. These measures could help to increase the population's trust in the use of AI.
Perspectives and challenges of AI in police work
Various experts, such as senior criminal director Kai Küllmer from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), emphasize the opportunities of AI in police work. He emphasizes that AI can help make the daily work of officials easier and effectively analyze large amounts of data. At the same time, he warns of the risks associated with the use of AI and recognizes the need for a clear definition and regulation of the technology.
Johanna Hahn, a criminal law expert, also calls for a precise definition of applications in order to accurately assess specific risks. Dirk Peglow, Federal Chairman of the BDK, emphasizes the great need for AI-supported tools and sees greater transparency and education as an opportunity to reduce skepticism and gain the trust of the population.
Overall, the discussion about the use of artificial intelligence in policing shows that there is both enormous potential and serious concerns. The development and implementation of AI technologies must be done carefully to both increase the efficiency of policing and protect the rights of citizens.
