Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a global priority. Rapid and ongoing technological advancements in AI have prompted European legislative initiatives to regulate its use. In April 2021, the European Commission submitted a proposal for a Regulation that would harmonize artificial intelligence rules across the EU, including the law enforcement sector. Consequently, law enforcement officials await the outcome of the ongoing inter-institutional negotiations (trilogue) with great anticipation, as it will define how to capitalize on the opportunities presented by AI and how to prevent criminals from abusing this emergent technology.
