Abstract
Artificial intelligence in law enforcement can be harnessed due to its powers to faster classify, analyze, evaluate and interpret large data sets and information, which are the main pillars of national and international law enforcement authorities. This article presents application use cases for AI in criminal investigations against extremists and cyber criminals. An outlook into combatting crime is presented through the case of an AI tool made to combat child abusers on the dark web. Additionally, the article presents the predictive measures of artificial intelligence to aid law enforcement agencies in evaluating online behavior and predicting where crimes might occur before any real victims emerge. The article presents conclusions and recommendations for law enforcement applications and future research in a similar area.
