Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important factor in improving crime prevention and detection. The systems based on AI process large volumes of data to discover patterns, project possible crimes, and detect abnormalities. AI-driven tools in crime detection can be used in facial recognition, object detection, and predictive policing, and help law enforcement react proactively. The AI does the same on surveillance feeds, suspicious activity, and notifies the authorities. Moreover, chatbots and virtual assistants based on AI can deliver information about the safety of citizens and assist them. Intelligent analytics will also be useful in determining the possible crime hotspots and resource allocation. Through AI, law enforcement agencies will be able to excel in response times and lower crime rates, and boost the safety of the people. The AI technology continues to explore the assisting role in crime to make the communities safer.
