It should help combat human and drug trafficking, as well as the spread of child pornography.
The US Department of Justice said it will invest $2 million in research into artificial intelligence technology. They plan to use it in the fight against crime.
They want to use artificial intelligence to analyze the data that criminals leave when using the Internet and social networks. According to the US National Institute of Justice, it will help combat gang violence, drug smuggling, human trafficking and the opioid crisis.
In addition, using the algorithm, the Ministry of Justice wants to find encrypted child pornography without decryption. The agency noted that this is a serious problem in the fight against child pornography, since decryption requires a court order.
American authorities are not the first to want to use artificial intelligence in their work. On February 13, it became known that the British government will use automatic algorithms to recognize terrorist videos on small websites.
