Law Enforcement AI

Law enforcement AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence by police, prosecutors, and other public safety agencies, including facial recognition, predictive policing, automated license plate readers, and tools that help analyze evidence or assess risk of reoffending. For enterprise compliance and legal teams, this category matters because vendors selling these tools face growing scrutiny under the EU AI Act, which classifies many such systems as high-risk or prohibited, and under U.S. state and city rules that restrict or require disclosure of facial recognition use. Companies that build, license, or integrate these systems carry procurement, bias, data privacy, and liability exposure that can reach well beyond the contracting agency.

HSI Demands Auditable AI Outputs and Source Citations for All Criminal Investigations

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has stated that any AI tool used in federal criminal investigations must produce auditable outputs with citable source documents. All investigative materials are subject to legal discovery. Peter Hatch, HSI's principal assistant director for intelligence, made the requirements explicit at a public event and said vendors who cannot meet them will not be considered. HSI currently operates nearly a dozen deployed AI use cases and has five more in pre-deployment phases.
