Assessing AI Technologies for LEA Use: The ALIGNER Methodology

Artificial intelligence may greatly enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies. However, different (emerging) AI applications create different technical, ethical, legal, and organisational risks. To identify the most promising AI technologies for law enforcement use, the H2020 project ALIGNER has developed a sound methodology consisting of a collaborative technology watch process, followed by three cumulative assessments. This book chapter presents ALIGNER’s AI Technology Impact Assessment, Risk Assessment, and Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment.
