The challenge

Investigations are becoming more complex, capacity is under pressure

Fraud and subversion investigations are becoming more complex. Case files are growing, data sources are diversifying and pressure on capacity is increasing. At the same time, new AI capabilities offer opportunities to gain insights faster and better support investigative work.

The problem: many organisations do not know how to deploy AI responsibly, legally sound and effectively.

  • Available capacity is under pressure while investigations are becoming more extensive
  • AI tools are available, but responsible use requires more than technical knowledge
  • Knowledge about AI in public investigative processes is still scarce within many organisations
