ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Artificial intelligence has recently been intensively pushing the boundaries of human civilization and technological development. As a technological achievement, it imperceptibly "sneaked" into the life of every individual and became an integral part of all spheres of social life. In the application of artificial intelligence today, it seems that we cannot shake the impression that what at one point seemed possible in 100 years, has in fact become a reality in the last 10 or so years. The need for legal regulation and legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence arises as an important issue for its future development for the benefit of the human community and the entire humanity. This research is part of a broader picture of the potential use of artificial intelligence in certain branches of law, aimed at looking at the special "interregnum" between the established practice of using artificial intelligence and its legal regulation. In the work, we focus in particular on the analysis and research of the use of artificial intelligence systems in the field of law enforcement. More precisely, we will shed light on the regulatory process related to artificial intelligence in the EU and point out the specifics of its use for security and police purposes, primarily by establishing restrictions for the benefit of the public and citizens, by categorizing the use of certain artificial intelligence systems as prohibited and high-risk. These are artificial intelligence systems that use prediction techniques, biometric surveillance, i.e. face recognition and derived biometric data. Their impact on human rights is the subject of special in-depth research outside this framework, bearing in mind that the uncontrolled use of these techniques as part of the artificial intelligence system today can be equated with the consequences of dropping an "atomic bomb" on human freedoms and rights.Apart from the regulatory process within the EU, we also point out the potential use of artificial intelligence in Serbia by law enforcement services through the analysis of the legal framework of the Republic of Serbia.
