Workshop Summary

On the 17th of September, the Consortium will host a two-part event on the legal, ethical and societal issues surrounding the TRACY project. The first part on Legal – ethical issues and AI for law enforcement agencies will be open to the general public and tackle challenges related to the use of AI in law enforcement. The second part of the programme will be limited to the consortium members only as we will discuss the use of electronic communications non-content data.

Open to general public: Legal – ethical issues and AI for LEAs

Our TRACY Legal – ethical issues and AI workshop is centered around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to support the law enforcement agencies’ (LEA) investigations. As today’s crimes become more and more complex, including emerging technologies in crime detection becomes a necessity. On the other hand, the systems used by LEA must be safe and robust and thus adhere to requirements set by the new AI Act. For these reasons, we organize this workshop with will first set the scene to then give space for discussion and exchange of knowledge.

The workshop will provide an overview of the TRACY project, introducing its objectives and importance of the AI in crime investigations. The session will then explore the European legal landscape regarding AI, with a deep dive into the requirements of the AI Act and examples of AI applications in law enforcement.

The workshop will address key legal-ethical issues in AI deployment, including privacy and data protection, surveillance, liability and accountability, bias and discrimination, autonomy, transparency, and the right to a fair trial. The discussion will also highlight the impact of AI on policing practices, public trust, and legitimacy. We will also share best practices and recommendations, drawing on lessons learned from the TRACY project.

Throughout the workshop, we will encourage active discussion on the topic and foster exchange of knowledge in this area between the participants. At the end of the session, we will attempt to analyze and answer any remaining questions and summarize the presentation.

TRACY Consortium only: Legal, ethical, and societal issues related to the use of electronic communications non-content data

During the latter part open to consortium members only, we will discuss the fundamentals of the legal scene related to data access and retention to then deep dive into the lessons learnt from TRACY and its activities so far.
