The Artificial Intelligence Law Enforcement and Community Safety Laboratory (AiLECS)– A Monash University Australian Federal Police (AFP) joint research centre
The AiLECS will use the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to develop technology-based initiatives to support law enforcement and make global, local and online communities safer.
The new AI for Law Enforcement and Community Safety Lab (AiLECS), based at Monash University’s Faculty of Information Technology (IT), was launched as an expanded research centre. Emrging technologies were rapidly making information, content creation and access more easily available, with equal potential to be used for deviance or social good. We are currently witnessing the age of AI, we have already seen how newer technologies are being misused, leading to increased cyber attacks, identity theft, exploitation and misinformation. The AiLECS harnesses machine learning, natural language processing, network analysis and other techniques to support law enforcement in countering child abuse material, detecting and classifying illegal firearms, recognising misinformation and analysing large online criminal networks.The AFP, through the Commonwealth Confiscated Assets Account, has expanded the AiLECS Lab’s activities under a four-year funding program. Monash University has also contributed to the expansion.
