Artikel: Geautomatiseerde herkenning en voorspellen van emoties voor crowdcontrol: kansen en risico’s

With an ever-growing world population, mass incidents like those at the Astroworld Festival in 2021 and Halloween in Seoul in 2022 may occur more often. Crowd management, with artificial intelligence (AI) as a promising tool, can offer solutions. AI can analyze crowds, predict escalations, and enable early interventions. Detecting group emotion plays a crucial role, which can be achieved through various data modalities, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Multi-agent simulation models then predict emotional contagion effects in crowds. Various considerations are discussed, with privacy, validity, and applicability being central.

Artikel: Wat kan artificiële intelligentie betekenen voor de kwaliteit van de forensische advisering?

In the criminal justice process and during sentencing, there are several moments when crucial advice needs to be provided. Because these moments have significant consequences for those involved and society, it is essential that these processes are executed with care, and continuous efforts are made to improve and ensure the quality of these processes. With the rise of AI, the question has emerged of whether this technology can assist in enhancing considerations in the context of forensic diagnostics. On the one hand, there is consideration of possibilities for automation, allowing human intervention to be partially removed from the process. On the other hand, there is a consideration of strengthening human capabilities by deploying them more efficiently or effectively. This article delves into the experiences gained from research on how AI can contribute to complex decisions in forensic diagnostics, particularly in the assessment for clinical forensic care by the Netherlands Institute of Forensic Psychiatry and psychology (NIFP).

Artikel: Op verkenning in de digitale frontlinie: de mogelijke toepassingen van kunstmatige intelligentie bij de Koninklijke Marechaussee

The security domain is currently facing major challenges, both internationally and nationally. The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is therefore committed to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve its effectiveness. This article describes three possible applications of AI within the Marechaussee: the virtual border guard, smart analysis of sensor data, and autonomous robotics for security tasks. The article then discusses a number of potential problems related to the use of AI: the effectiveness, bias and transparency of algorithms, and the lack of a legal framework. Examples and mitigating measures are given for each of the potential problems.

Artikel: Samenwerken met politiemachines

Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly but fundamentally changing police practice. Processes of human sensemaking are increasingly augmented and sometimes automated by AI. As a consequence, policemen have to work together with police machines. This requires new knowledge and skills. The foundation of these competences is a digital mindset. In addition, data skills, software skills, and legal and ethical knowledge and skills are crucial parts of the required craftmanship. Police organizations are faced with the task of facilitating learning processes. These processes preferably take place in operational teams by supporting the use of AI applications for tasks at hand.

Bewijsvergaring met behulp van dienstverleners: praktijk, knelpunten en toekomst

Vaak is de data waar het om gaat en waar in het kader van een strafrechtelijk onderzoek interesse in is in het bezit van bedrijven en bevindt de data zich op servers in verschillende landen, zowel binnen als buiten de Europese Unie. Tot voor kort voorzagen de instrumenten ter verkrijging van deze data in mogelijkheden van bevoegde autoriteiten om zich via de daarvoor aangewezen autoriteiten in andere landen, dus indirect, tot deze bedrijven te wenden. Er is echter een ontwikkeling zichtbaar waarbij het in steeds meer gevallen mogelijk wordt voor autoriteiten om zich direct tot bedrijven te richten met een bevel tot uitlevering van data.
