UNICRI Centre for AI and Robotics

[3] The Centre connects a large network of stakeholders, including governmental entities, industry, academia, think tanks, foundations and civil society.

[1][4] It has signed strategic partnerships with the Kay Family Foundation and industry partners, such as 1QBit Information Technologies, Inc., for the provision of support to the Centre.

Current priorities for this include, inter alia, tools for combating human trafficking, child sexual abuse material, corruption and bribery, the financing of terrorism, terrorist use of the Internet and social media, and identifying programmatically manipulated voice or video content (deepfakes).

Failure to adequately navigate or cater for these pitfalls, could limit the possibility for law enforcement to revolutionise police work and practices with AI.

On 12 November 2020, a Core Group meeting of experts from both the law enforcement and AI communities took place and served as a forum for initial discussions on the possible objective, structure, target audience and key points of the Toolkit.
