Top Technologies to Accelerate Investigations The top technologies that law enforcement organizations believe will have the most impact in accelerating investigations are AI-powered predictive analytics (48%) and GenAI for data exploration and analysis (47%), as seen in Figure 9. Although GenAI technologies are still evolving, they hold significant promise for addressing the challenge of information overload in investigations. Gen AI has the potential to help investigators and analysts in a myriad of ways, for example by enabling the querying of data using simple questions in natural language, and summarizing large volumes of text to extract key insights with the click of a mouse. Clearly there is a strong focus currently on GenAI, with GenAI chatbots and tools considered to be the top technologies enabling criminals to accelerate crime and evade detection (Figure 1). When further examining those who rated AI-powered predictive analytics as the top technology to accelerate investigations, we see that the bigger the organization size, the more they value the potential of AI (Figure 10). This makes sense given that larger law enforcement organizations tend to have access to more data, and since they are generally more technologically advanced, they are also better equipped to put new AI technologies into practice.
