  Artificial intelligence (AI) applications can be found in many aspects of our lives, and even public safety and criminal justice are benefiting from AI.

  Research supported by NIJ is helping to lead the way in applying AI to address criminal justice needs, such as identifying individuals and their actions in videos relating to criminal activity or public safety, DNA analysis, gunshot detection, and crime forecasting.
