Description
Summary:The modern technologies of video analysis and face recognition software are analysed, their effectiveness in criminal analysis is assessed, and the ethical and legal aspects of using these innovations in law enforcement are investigated. The article emphasises the relevance of introducing the latest video analysis technologies and face recognition software for ensuring public safety and combating crime in Ukraine. The key technical characteristics of video analysis technology and face recognition software are identified, and their role in reducing the human factor and accelerating the process of identifying suspects is revealed. The foreign experience of using such technologies and the ways of their integration into law enforcement in Ukraine are analysed. Particular attention is paid to legal aspects, in particular personal data protection, as well as ethical challenges, namely ensuring transparency, non-discrimination and respect for human rights. The research methodology is based on the analysis of regulatory documents, scientific sources and practical experience in the use of video analysis technologies. A systematic approach was used to summarise the data and a comparative method was used to evaluate different software solutions. The specifics of the use of artificial intelligence in different countries were studied and taken into account, which allowed us to summarise the best practices of implementation. Recommendations are made to improve the implementation of video analysis technologies in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. The article proposes measures to improve technical support, create legislative mechanisms and ethical standards for the use of data. In particular, the author emphasises the importance of training employees, developing a personal data protection policy and implementing transparent procedures for monitoring the effectiveness of technologies. Particular attention is paid to recommendations for providing legal support for the integration of new technologies, including standardisation of procedures and reducing the risks of abuse of power or position by law enforcement officers. The results obtained can contribute to the improvement of criminal analysis methods, increase the efficiency of law enforcement agencies and strengthen public safety. The proposed approaches will help to strengthen national resilience and increase public confidence in law enforcement through the effective implementation of modern technologies.
