ULOGA UMJETNE INTELIGENCIJE (AI) U RADU POLICIJE
THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN POLICE WORK

Summary/Abstract: The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced the transformation of modern policing by enabling more efficient analysis of crime patterns, improved preventive activities, and faster processing of digital evidence. The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibilities and limitations of AI application in the police sector, with a particular focus on the legal and institutional framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Methodologically, the paper is based on an analysis of relevant scientific literature, international guidelines, and regulatory documents, with a comparative overview of practices in developed countries. The results of the analysis indicate that AI can contribute to increased efficiency of police agencies, better resource management, and enhanced preventive action, especially in the areas of predictive policing, video surveillance, digital forensics, and operational planning. However, significant risks related to privacy protection, algorithmic bias, and the lack of transparency in decision-making processes have also been identified, which requires strict regulation and strong oversight mechanisms. In the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, additional challenges include a fragmented institutional structure, limited financial resources, and a lack of specialized IT personnel. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the need for a phased and responsible introduction of AI technologies into policing, accompanied by strengthening the legal framework, institutional capacities, and continuous education of police officers, in order to ensure a balance between improving public security and protecting fundamental human rights.
