Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a fundamental part of daily life, helping with everything from unlocking devices through facial recognition to aiding in healthcare diagnostics. AI s ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data positions it as a valuable resource in law enforcement, particularly in Romania, where challenges in public safety could benefit from AI integration. Despite its potential, citizens remain cautious about ensuring AI s fairness and beneficial use. Staff shortages in Romanian police and border agencies exacerbate public safety issues. Critical vacancies and budget constraints lead to slower response times, increased crime rates, weakened border security, and eroded trust in law enforcement. Additionally, unfair labor practices and restrictive policies make recruitment and retention difficult, highlighting the need for urgent reforms. Making the appeal to AI with its advantages, such as improved productivity and crime prevention, and analyzing data to predict hotspots and identify criminal behaviors. However, risks exist, including biased algorithms and policy gaps that may lead to unfair outcomes. Regulatory frameworks like the EU s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ensure transparency in data practices, but no universal standard currently governs the fairness of AI applications in law enforcement.
