As reported in The Japan News, the Japanese National Police Agency (NPA) is planning to begin experimenting with the use of artificial intelligence in anti-terrorism and criminal investigations next fiscal year. The experiments would involve using the characteristics of past attacks in Europe to train AI to identify terrorists in crowded areas, and introducing AI systems to analyze surveillance videos in criminal investigations. The NPA plans to conduct experiments in the three areas: identifying suspicious people and objects targeting large events, determining the model of automobiles and analyzing suspicious financial transactions.
