PROBabLE Futures

Probabilistic AI Systems in Law Enforcement Futures (PROBabLE Futures) is a recently funded RAI-UK Keystone Project that will bring together academics, Law Enforcement, Government, third-sector and commercial AI industry partners to explore responsible approaches to Probabilistic AI across the law enforcement landscape.


Probabilistic AI Systems in Law Enforcement Futures (Probable Futures) is a recently funded RAI-UK Keystone Project that will bring together academics, Law Enforcement, Government, third-sector and commercial AI industry partners to explore responsible approaches to Probabilistic AI across the law enforcement landscape.

The 4-year interdisciplinary research project is led by Northumbria Law School’s Professor Marion Oswald MBE, in collaboration with a team of multi-disciplinary co-investigators from Northumbria, Glasgow, Northampton, Leicester, Cambridge and Aberdeen universities. Northumbria University Co-Is are Professor Gita Gill, Dr Kyri Kotsoglou, Dr Kyle Montague and ProfessorYifeng Zeng.


Through this work we will engage directly with primary stakeholders to analyse and map the Probabilistic AI ecosystem in Law Enforcement. We plan to investigate prior law enforcement case studies from data-driven and probabilistic technologies; explore and anticipate future law enforcement technologies; design and evaluate novel interfaces and systems for AI-assisted decision making in Law enforcement; use innovative research techniques such as a mock trial involving AI outputs as evidence to develop a future-oriented framework for responsible AI in law enforcement and criminal justice.
