Abstract

The author, analyzing the activities of international organizations and issues of artificial intelligence, cannot but refer to the activities of Interpol, an international criminal police organization created to promote cooperation between law enforcement agencies of different countries in the fight against crime. Since its main task is to exchange information between member countries, coordinate investigations of crimes of an international nature and ensure the interaction of national police services, it is very important to clarify the issue of using artificial intelligence (AI) in this work. The problem of cybercrime, which is already acquiring global proportions, also plays an important role. And here, it is quite relevant to consider how artificial intelligence fights artificial intelligence and what tools have been created for this. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to identify the role of artificial intelligence in the activities of Interpol. The author concludes that artificial intelligence plays an important role in modern law enforcement systems and for Interpol due to its ability to process large volumes of data, identify patterns and improve the effectiveness of crime investigations. The use of machine learning technologies allows you to optimize the processes of information analysis, identify suspicious activity and prevent security threats. The projects that Interpol is developing make it possible to use artificial intelligence to expand police capabilities by automating the processing of large volumes of data, improving the efficiency of monitoring and predicting potential threats. For example, the creation of the “Metaverse”, a virtual headquarters that will serve as an immersive training space for law enforcement specialists. And these are only the first steps in implementing this idea. It is also worth noting the importance of developing, jointly with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), the “Toolkit for Responsible AI Innovation in Law Enforcement”. Thus, the combination of Interpol’s efforts and the capabilities of artificial intelligence significantly increases the effectiveness of the fight against international crime, ensuring the safety of citizens and the stability of society. Technologies allow us to quickly respond to threats and minimize risks, making the world safer and more secure.
