ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF INFORMATION SECURITY IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SECTOR

Abstract

The article examines the role of artificial intelligence as a modern tool for improving the efficiency of information security in the law enforcement sector. The introduction substantiates the relevance of the topic in the context of digital transformation, the growing number of cyber threats, and the transformation of the information space into a domain of confrontation. The theoretical section defines the essence of key concepts, including «artificial intelligence», «information security», «cybersecurity», and «law enforcement activity», and analyzes contemporary scientific approaches to their interpretation. It is determined that artificial intelligence functions as an integrated component of the security management system, capable of ensuring a continuous cycle of threat detection, response, and recovery from cyber incidents. The results section provides an analysis of threats to information security in the law enforcement sector, including data breaches, cyberattacks, phishing, and insider threats. The capabilities of artificial intelligence are substantiated in terms of processing large volumes of data, detecting anomalies, predicting threats, and automating decision-making processes. The main directions of AI application in law enforcement are outlined, including cybercrime investigation, the use of biometric systems, analysis of textual and visual information, and predictive analytics. Special attention is paid to the challenges and risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence, such as algorithmic errors, bias, data privacy concerns, and insufficient legal regulation. The article proposes ways to improve the effectiveness of AI implementation through a comprehensive approach that combines technological, human resource, and legal aspects. It is concluded that maintaining a balance between security efficiency and the protection of human rights is essential. Prospects for further research are outlined, particularly in relation to improving mechanisms for integrating artificial intelligence into law enforcement activities and enhancing the transparency of its application.
