Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive analysis covering the confluence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber Forensics and Digital Policing in the context of the United Kingdom (UK), United States (US) and European Union (EU) national cybersecurity. More specifically, this book explores ways in which the adoption of AI algorithms (such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Big Data Predictive Analytics (BDPAs) transforms law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and intelligence service practices. It explores the roles that these technologies play in the manufacture of security, the threats to freedom and the levels of social control in the surveillance state. This book also examines the malevolent use of AI and associated technologies by state and non-state actors. Along with this analysis, it investigates the key legal, political, ethical, privacy and human rights implications of the national security uses of AI in the stated democracies. This book provides a set of policy recommendations to help to mitigate these challenges. Researchers working in the security field as well advanced level students in computer science focused on security will find this book useful as a reference. Cyber security professionals, network security analysts, police and law enforcement agencies will also want to purchase this book. .
