British police are now deploying artificial intelligence to process large amounts of digital evidence in complex criminal investigations, dramatically reducing the time required to analyse data. In one major case, officers processed 1.4 terabytes of data from confiscated smartphones with an AI application that can filter through messages, photos, and location data much faster than traditional ones.
The operation marked a significant shift in modern policing, as detectives confront increasingly large volumes of digital material linked to organised crime and fraud.
