Abstract

The main goals of this research is to examine and analyze the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on public security. This study seeks to answer the question of how AI technology can contribute to the improvement of public security. To this end, three online focus group sessions were conducted with experts in the field of artificial intelligence who are also familiar with public security issues. During these sessions, the research question was discussed, and the various perspectives of the experts on the applications of artificial intelligence in public security were gathered and summarized. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence, as one of the most advanced technologies of our time, can play a significant role in enhancing public security. This technology, with its extensive capabilities, can substantially contribute to achieving public security in six key ways: more accurate and faster decision-making, improved monitoring and surveillance, active crisis management, more effective communication coordination, better resource allocation, and the automation of processes.
