Abstract

This report presents an overview of the Critically Exploring Biometric AI Futures project led by the University of Edinburgh in partnership with the University of Stirling. This short 3-month project explored the use of new Biometric Artificial Intelligence (AI) in law enforcement, the challenges of fostering trust around deployment and debates surrounding social, ethical and legal concerns. The
Report includes a discussion of:
• A Rapid Systematic Review of existing scholarly and policy-relevant literature focusing on emerging biometric AI technologies in Law Enforcement and the social, ethical, and legal issues that have been associated with these tools.
• The Creation of 3 Design Fictions, drawing on the Review, to explore emergent uses of Biometric AI in Law Enforcement. These broadly consider law enforcement uses of Live Automated Facial Recognition; Emotion Recognition; and DNA Phenotyping
• A High-Level Expert Roundtable run with Key Stakeholders in Policing at the University of Edinburgh (e.g., academics, policing professionals, regulatory body members, Government representations). This Roundtable was graphic recorded.
• A Summary of Discussions at Roundtable Discussions.
