Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice system has raised significant ethical and social implications. As AI technology continues to advance it has been increasingly utilized in various aspects of policing including crime prediction facial recognition and predictive policing algorithms. While these advancements hold the potential to enhance law enforcement efficiency and effectiveness, they also pose challenges related to privacy bias accountability and transparency. This paper aims to explore and analyze the ethical and social implications of AI in policing highlighting its potential benefits and drawbacks. This paper also examines AI development and implementation to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all individuals within the criminal justice system.
