The Australian Federal Police (AFP) recently announced that they are utilizing artificial intelligence technology to analyze surveillance permit data in order to assist in identifying potential money laundering and fraud activities. Although their use of AI is currently limited, the AFP stated that they expect this technology to enhance the efficiency of police work. This move is particularly important in combating economic crime, as these crimes often involve large-scale data and complex patterns. The AFP emphasized that they will ensure the transparency, ethics, and legality of technology use to protect data privacy.
