Ethical Challenges Facing Data-Driven Policing: A Review

CHIBUZOR OKOCHA

Keywords: [ ethics ]


Abstract:

AbstractArtificial intelligence has an increasingly large impact on everything from social media to healthcare. Artificial Intelligence is used to make credit card decisions, to conduct video surveillance in airports, and to perform military operations. These technologies have the potential to harm or help the people that they serve. This paper aims to identify some ethical challenges that affect data-driven policing in modern society and some solutions that have helped address some of these challenges. The police department plays a very huge role in keeping our communities safe, and using data to aid their decisions could cost us a lot if not properly looked at. ML applications have discriminated against individuals on the basis of race, sex, religion, socioeconomic status, and other categories. These could have severe consequences if some of these challenges are not examined.
