Course Description: “The Evolving Threat of AI” workshop series is designed to provide concrete intel, tactical skills, and a community plan for law enforcement and police departments around the nation. The series is appropriate for Police Chiefs, Command Staff, and Community Engagement Officers alike. The workshop is divided into three components: [Part 1] Introduction Session Overview: This serves as an introduction to where AI capabilities are today, and their projections over the next few years. It will consist of an introductory lecture followed by some group exercises meant to acquaint command staff and other law enforcement individuals with the overall direction of AI development and how it affects the crime risk landscape. [Part 2] Model and Report Evaluations: Building Technical Skills Session Overview: This is meant to be a fast-follow more in-depth addition to the morning session where we’ll get people hands-on experience with LLMs and be able to go through threat intelligence reports from each of the major AI labs in more detail. We’ll go over details of specific reports from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic. [Part 3] Community Immunization and Preparedness Plans Session Overview: Deepfaked media of law enforcement and civilian interactions are an increasing threat for law enforcement agencies in a volatile environment of public opinion. There are post-hoc steps that can be taken, but there are also proactive community events and workshops that law enforcement can run to apprise their communities of these deepfake threats, both for community safety, but also to mitigate the effects of future AI deepfakes on law enforcement reputation. It is much easier to talk with the community about the possibility of false interactions being posted online before they happen. This also serves as an additional touch point for law enforcement agencies to build trust with the communities they serve and let them know that law enforcement is on the ball when it comes to AI and crime. Law Enforcement Community Engagement Officers will build-out AI safety workshops for their community, focusing on:
Learning Objectives: Provide Police Chiefs and Command Staff with critical intel on the emerging AI Risk Landscape. Build both situational awareness and tactical skills to combat major AI threats, including misuse by bad actors and loss of AI system control.
