Europol, the European police authority, has published a report produced by the Europol Innovation Lab warning about how AI and unmanned systems could alter the nature of society, crime and law enforcement.

While highlighting the uptake of autonomous systems across the continent for various policing tasks, the report cautions that their use suffers from technical limitations and regulatory gaps — such as dependence on industrial suppliers, limited autonomy and a lack of clear guidelines — that hinder their effectiveness.

Criminal and terrorist groups, meanwhile, are rapidly adopting such systems for their own illicit activities, including information gathering, drug smuggling and attacks on the police, after refining their drone strategies since 2010.

The report also identifies several potential future scenarios driven by the development of AI and robotics that could present new challenges for law enforcement agencies, from displaced workers turning to "bot-bashing" to malicious actors utilizing drone swarms powered by AI.

As part of this, the report predicts that European police forces may have to question robots about criminal incidents, which they state will become "even more complex" as the technology develops to a humanoid level, and handle robots being jailbroken and "coerced into unintended behaviour."

As a solution, the report calls for a "multi-dimensional" policing approach across land, sea and air, the development of a strategic direction, the creation of an AI and robotics competency hub and the integration of unmanned systems into existing information structures.

As criminals and terrorists increasingly make use of ever-more sophisticated AI and unmanned systems, it is up to law enforcement authorities across Europe to do the same. From surveillance and bomb disposal to search and rescue operations, these technologies offer police forces on the continent unprecedented capabilities that are essential if they want to avoid falling behind.

While AI is a powerful tool, if handed to the police without proper regulations, this technology will only exacerbate the existing problems plaguing law enforcement. Systemic issues with bias and inaccuracy, for example, could be amplified by an AI-driven platform through flawed human inputs. Strict guidelines are necessary, therefore, to keep the police’s use of AI in check.

There is a 25% chance that Tesla will be able to mass-produce humanoid robots by the end of 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
